 | The only ones really capable of controlling and elimanating terrorists
are other Muslims. Why? Because they know who they are and can identify
them. U.S & English military units can do so only on a piecemeal basis,
and at a horrendous cost. So far, the more moderate Muslim factions have
been reluctant to take any real action. Their failure to do so can only
exacerbate anti Muslim fellings by non Muslims, who can't distinguish
between radicals and moderates.

And where did you come up with this crackpot theory?

The nature of guerilla war is that the guerillas get support from the native
population, either by way of fear or cooperation. The occupiers can't be
everywhere, and the native populaion is very reluctant to risk their
family's lives by informing.

You flatter the terrorists by referring to them as guerillas James.
It's's Sunni's vs. Shite's for power and control, or haven't you heard?
