Give me a few examples of insurgencies or guerrilla movements that were ever successfully suppressed through the use of brute force, besides the one I mentioned above.
The Viet Cong, the Japanese occupation of Vietnam, Korea and China, German ocupation of most of Europe. How many more do you want?
That's true. AQ definitely hasn't "won" in any sense of the word given what OBL's original vision was. But neither are they easily defeated.
Just think of how, "al Qaeda", would be a dirty word in the ME, had we had them with the appropriate level of violence.
This is illegal in Germany, today.
Care to take a guess as to why?
