this war may be unwinnable...(i'm only using this as an analogy, btw) how did hercules defeat the hydra? by changing tactics!

one thing the ancient greek myths don't acknowledge is not just tactics, but full strategy...well, killing "terrorists" by dropping 2000 bombs into cities and towns doesn't work...how about cutting off their international support through foreign policy? how about making their cause unpopular among their own people by showing them as brutes and murderers?

military force is useless without the political wiles to be able to not use it...

on edit: fixed stupid grammar
