It seems like the theme again and again is we just need to get more brutal, bomb their mosques when they hide in them, carpet bomb them and so on…. The Soviets did all of this and much more back in the 80s in Afghanistan. It still didn't work. We could firebomb them, kill everyone in their village when one of them turns to extremism, bomb their mosques, hell even mutilate their corpses and bury them in pig guts, and in the end we will be in the same situation the Soviets were in at the end of the 80s in Afghanistan. All we can do over there is contain them, prop-up brutal dictators that are somewhat friendly to the west and contain them, that is all we can do. This fiasco is the direct result of going into Iraq in the first place. Maybe in another thousand years or so they will catch up to the rest of the world.
But the Soviets didn't hunt them.....not in the night, in the dark and when they fear most.
