My point is, it's neither. 1) War is fundamentally soldiers killing soldiers so one side can beat the other side. 2) Murder is individuals killing individuals because of some connection between them (e.g. money, domestic, etc.). However, HERE we have a third situation, terrorism. 3) Terrorism is visiting violence on a civilian population to force them to change their political activities. The terrorist doesn't know the innocent bystanders or have any real connection with them (it's not murder). The terrorists don't expect to militarily beat the other side (it's not war). They simply want to shake our reserve, demoralize us, and make us change our political stances (e.g. support of Israel, non-Muslim religion, etc.). So what we're dealing with is, by design and definition, violence against innocent non-combatants simply for the sake of terrorizing the population and causing the most demoralization possible. All I can say is: "Kill them all and let God sort'em out." Of course, that's too simple and not P.C. But it's a feeling - nothing more than feelings. And if THAT'S the way I feel, then I'm sure not demoralized. Joe P.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
