Guerrilla wars sometimes succeed. Guerrillas are very ruthless. They
murder without mercy teachers, officials, police, doctors or anyone who
opposes them; anyone who represents the 'established order'.

I'm sure we could stop the Iraq insurgency. But I expect it requires
the same kind of ruthlessness practiced by insurgents. We don't have
that kind of will. For example, Saddam basically wiped out Kurdish and
Shiite towns to stop insurgencies. We could easily wipe out Baghdad and
the surviving insurgents would reconsider their efforts. But we will
not.


Its the same for pollution, tell them you

I don't see any industry murdering people. I always had the impression
that pharmacy industry seeks to saves lives and energy companies
provide energy. What would we do without either?
