True that. News travels in ways it never did in the distant past. Public Relation fiascos probably weren't too high on any rulers agenda's a few hundred years ago.
On the other hand, firing a half million dollar missile at a half-ton pick-up truck seems like a losing proposition too. The fireball may be momentarily satisfying, but you're going into the hole financially.
