Sure. But whether you like it or not, they are fighting to win for
whatever their cause is. Their attitude is, "**** fair." And,
frankly, that attitude wins wars and ultimately saves lives.

The crap with exclusion zones and fighting these guys with one hand
tied behind our back won't work. It may assuage our western
consciences, but it won't work... unless some large portion of the
populace fears that we will *stop* doing that.

We didn't in VietNam, so while they were sticking bamboo shoots under
fingernails of prisoners, we were worrying about exclusion zones.

In Iraq, we don't attack mosques used as armories because we want to
respect the mosque and Islam. How is using it as an armory
"respecting Islam?"
