They Strung Up Sadam

[dareutwo]

Is there a way to beat an insurgency?
Besides bringing in 500k troops, setting up camp, killing them 1 by 1 for the next 20 years til they don't have numbers to reproduce?
Sadam was put in place and aided by the US, oh wait, GB forgot that point.
Iraq will soon become 3 seperate states/nations, and possibly 2 if Turkey decides to invade.

Killing Sadam does nothing, proves nothing (except that GB was wrong and we're all fools).
I don't see much of a daily escalation soon, but I'm guessing a Big attack may be near at hand.

They didn't get a very strong conviction on Saddam. I think they really needed to nail him on charges of killing 10,000s of people instead of 148. Think about it. Right now on an average day 148 Iraqis can be killed. This is major fuel for terrorist recruiting. It's even better then the USA legalizing torture.

I think the job of terrorist recruiter is probably easier then the job of army recruiter.
