I'd be curious to see how negotiations would go. The US doesn't negotiate with terrorists, but these insurgents are obviously not terrorists. While there is no formal leadership, so far as we know, in the resistence, there are those who would be looked upon as leaders. Open up peace talks. "What do you want?" and "What are you willing to give to get what you want?" are questions that should be asked, instead of simply fighting one another. Had we asked these questions in Vietnam, we could have avoided a conflict that claimed over 250,000 lives on both sides.
