Destroy the aggressors ability to fight by upsetting them to the point of breakdown by air dropping pictures of hideously war injured children, grannies and fluffy animals. Optionally aggression could be removed by bombing the said nation with aromatherapy products and flower petals.

       I seem to recall a "Hearts and Minds" campaign which didn't quite work.

       I like the idea of an entire war conducted with aromatherapy oils ("Agh!...Lavender...No!") but otherwise this idea is not that far removed from real psychological warfare.

       Aromatherapy bombs? ARRGH! Scented oils give me headaches, and I know I'm not alone there. The calming properties of aromatherapy are overrated to say the least.

       Aromatherapy can also be Aroma aversion therapy. We used to mix up Ethyl Ethanoate and other powerful-smelling esters in the chem lab. Then we'd lace te doormats outside classrooms with them.   

       Drop 20,000 litres of that in downtown Jerusalem or Hebron. That'll slow the little buggers down a bit.
