Where is the battlefield when dealing with asymmetrical enemies like terrorists? If only they'd wear uniforms, not hide behind civilians, and stay in the designated battlefield area we wouldn't have this problem.

  The point is these killings have not been happening for 100 years as claimed. These are a new type of killing, with a newly invented legal justification

The old version was to carpet/fire/nuclear bomb entire cities. Is that better?
