#1 Analysts painstakingly diagram insurgent networks and recommend individuals who should be killed or captured, they wrote. While aerial drones scan the countryside 24/7 in the hope of spotting insurgents burying bombs, relying on them exclusively baits intelligence shops into reacting to enemy tactics at the expense of finding ways to strike at the very heart of the insurgency.

Get the bad imams. Maybe kill them, maybe just arrest them and throw them in Gitmo. All the fence sitters will pick a side, and then you can go to work on the folks who are making everyone's life miserable until all those who live in fear learn to fear us more. Get them to rat out the rest of the bad guys. Kill those bad guys.

Then you can get to work and maybe build a decent society.

It will take three generations.
