'''Shock and Awe''' was a tactic used by [[American]] forces in the [[Second Persian Gulf War]] designed to frighten [[Iraqi]] troops into surrender with a constant barrage by Air Force bombers. Not a new idea in warfare by any means, but never since the massacre of [[Béziers]] ("Slay them all, God will know his own"<ref>http://straitway.org/2001/03012001.htm</ref>) has a government been so ''open'' about the use of Shock and Awe.
