no, Im suggesting that the only way for American troops to end the insurgency would be to systematically destroy every individual or group involved therein. And the only way to be absolutely certain that you accomplished that task would be a total annihilation of the Iraqi population.
understand this, though: I am NOT saying we should do this. I'm merely pointing out that we are fighting a group that is willing to literally ANYTHING, regardless of how evil it might be, to achieve their ends. And they are ready, willing and determined to fight to the last man, woman and child in their cause. The only victory that could possibly be achieved against a foe like that is complete and total extermination.
Crompsin: I agree 100% with your assessment of the situation in Iraq. |
