Hi James,

I have seen this episode. Why do computers explode when someone
shoots a beam weapon at them? I have to agree with you. It is
impossible to fight a totally clean war. There will be casualties
one way or another. The only question is that of magnitude. Will
you completely level a city? Or only certain portions of it?

In the context of UFO however, we do not have the technological
superiority to be as flexible as to perform surgical strikes against
military infrastructure. We do have the technology to vaporize the
surface of the planet however, or to burn-off it's atmosphere.

Where has it ever been established that there is a diffrence in the
Alien society between military and civilian? They could be more or
less like the Borg in the extreme, or closer to the Klingons where
everyone is in the military.

hmmmmm....

What is REALLY contemptable is General Henderson not giving Straker
the means to do more research considering the grave situation.

only a violation of that particular person - but of the whole human
species. ---

One needs to think about that in such a context.
