Any conflict where combatants can assimilate into the civilian environment can only be won with the people's cooperation. It has to be a partnership between the host nation, her people and the foreign (NATO) military presence.

To Sam

Israel only kills palestinians when they commit suicide on buses or launch primitive guided missiles into civilian area's. you are either a terrorist sympathizor or a sleeper jihadist. these people that dislike our way of life are a bunch of uneducated brainwashed fanatics that have to be eradicated. Look at Iran, every week they have death to America & Israel rallies and when they have military parades in front of there leaders there missiles carry slogans such as death to America and death to israel and we will wipe you out etc. Imagine how the world would react if we (USA) paraded our latest missiles with slogans painted on the side that said death to Iran and we will destroy you etc. IRAN , PAKISTAN, AFGHANISTAN, SYRIA, LEBANON ( HIZBOLLAH) are 4 countries that are a major threat to and is a major problem and will cause a major war sooner than later. Ayatollahs should be in mosque not government and when ever you mix religeon with politics thats a problem.
