The German and Japanese governments surrendered. They were not engaging in terrorist activities to resist brutal occupation. (Well, Germany is another story) The French government surrendered in WW2, but then the French resistance began. Because what else are you going to do, when you're being occupied, and you and your children are being victimized on a massive scale? You're going to fight back. You don't have a choice. What do you expect them to do? THEY FUCKING LIVE THERE. They aren't going to move. Ever.
What's the correct number of Iraqis we'd have to kill to make them "surrender" again, and stop fighting back against their current occupation? All of them. Same for every country in the region.
We're already killing massive numbers of civilians with airstrikes, it's not having the desired effect. When an innocent civilian dies, it makes people want to fight back.
While you live, shine / Have no grief at all / Life exists only for a short while / And time demands its toll.
so what's the alternative then? clearly the way things are handled right now don't work
it's easy to criticize those who try to come up with a solution, but where is yours?
if you wanna continue wasting resources and manpower on that shithole of a region, then continuing to do things like they're done now is the way to go
if you withdraw, they have free reign
so they need to be taught a lesson they'll never forget, you don't have to use nuclear weapons, but our game needs to be stepped up, big time

that's already being done on a daily basis, by all parties involved, we just call them collateral damage
but not enough to change things for the better in the long run, just enough to piss them off and keep them angry
however we don't want them angry, we want them shattered
sometimes you gotta destroy first, before you can create

That the old ''we are too kind wtih terrorists, let's do like them'' tends to end in disaster ?
