I'm a happy guy. I studied alot about Vietnam, and one thing that struck out is that viet cong knew how to manipulate the local people. Not everyone that suicide bombing US posts are "viet cong" by its true meaning. They didn't know a damn thing about communism, they only knew that some people came and told them who the "killers" of their loved ones are, and that's that. This newly adopted strategy is what I've waited for for a long time. You can't kill a faith by military force. Maybe if you go mass murder dictatorship style like Saddam, you can win, but the Allied Forces aren't allowed to do that. So the only way to win a faith is to influence it, not direct military confrontation.
