The irony I find in your point is that it's your exact attitude that's making the problem worse! There's a bunch of average Joe's that were starting night clubs, construction businesses, etc. Then the economy of their country was blown to shit, their neighbors killed, and now they're joining Hezbollah. And they're saying the same thing you are, "when people attack my family ..." Conventionally military forces cannot defeat insurgencies, religious movements, or guerrillas. Period. That's been proven time and time again. Where do think all of the Christians around you came from! The Romans tried to kill them all! Did it work? The only way you can defeat "asymmetric" forces like this is: 1.) Punish governments that support them. i.e., Afghanistan. 2.) Human intelligence to, 3.) Use small hit teams to wipe them out while, 4.) providing a strong economy to give people a real option at a peaceful living. That's it. It's been proven so many time that I'm shocked anyone would try to argue different. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:212169 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
