I get the picture, but what does that have to do with insurgency? Please be a little more explicit.

They haven't been around long enough that they can swim "as fish in the sea" with the general pop yet. If they are based around restoring the Baath to power then they're going to have to convince people to hate the US more than they hate them first. Then you'll see some more pitched (if still limited) battles.

Stories that I have read say that they have some support in the rich areas of certain towns. (There was a real correlation between rich and Saddam-crony.) Wrt other people, they will hope for intimidation or for inflaming religious or racial differences with the occupying troops. We will see how well they do...

Probably not best to let them know that we have a threshhold. Which side are you on by the way? Just an observer? Or cheering for one side or the other?

quote: Originally posted by HershOstropoler An easy goal in comparison to the rhetoric. Of course, it will reaffirm all suspicions about American imperialism. "No, for two reasons: Direct imperialism is out, imperialism by proxy is in, and if we stay there, we won't have enough people to go somewhere else. " Yeah, but that's a logical argument, and I was talking about the neocons.

You are too much a creature of rhetoric. I think you are too mad at the McKinsey studies saying Euros should be more capitalistic and the WW2 movies with dehumanized Germans being killed.

They know you have a treshold anyway. As for which side, it is tempting to wish a total fiasco on you, especially as it would discredit such braindead adventures for the future. On the other side, i'd prefer damage limitation. Really tricky situation.

"I think you are too mad at the McKinsey studies saying Euros should be more capitalistic and the WW2 movies with dehumanized Germans being killed."

The first one coming from the stronghold of crony capitalism is just funny. You'll learn your japanese lesson soon enough.

As for those WW2 movies with the evil germans, I like those films. We haff wayzz to mack you talk...
