Mr Chairperson, the target, what you described is correct, that once fuel ignites and burns it burns at a very high temperature but people that worked in there know that there is a danger of further explosions etc., and that very little could be done about bringing that fire under control.
	In fact, what happened is they allowed it to burn out.  What they tried to do was make sure that they cooled the rest of the area in order to contain where the fire was burning but people were to have left that area.  The danger always existed that others could be injured etc., but again here we ask ourselves a question. 	At every point, anywhere you go, in any walk in life, you can go to a military base and you'll find civilians working in there, does that mean therefore you cannot hit that target?  The moment you put an installation and you identify that installation, you accept that that is something you will target and hit.
