seems to me the only military solution would be to set an example and level the city without warning, killing everthing down to the last roach,( the "innocent" civilians must be siding with the Bad guys) This would set an example that their struggle is futile, if the scorched earth policy would have started in Fallujah then there would be peace today....IMO: war can not be won until the enemies will to resist is broken
Translation: "killing everythng including the last baby." Don't be afraid to cCall a spade a spade if that is what you what you mean. Is it?
