An article I read earlier today quoted an American Military official as saying that the average insurgency during the 20th century lasted nine years. All things considered, I think it's a little too early to believe that the kids on the other team are ready to put down all their guns and play nice from now on.

They're due for one more strong peak a year or so from now, and then they'll gradually start fading away.

Unless they hold a grudge forever like most in the Arab world.

Some of it goes back hundreds of years. Doesn't make sense to me. Guess because I am an American.
