They know they canâ€™t beat the US by military means and rely on PR wars..
Very true, and the US is very bad at it!
Had the US only understood terrorism is not a war the way the US hears it.
The bottomline is: there were no suicide terrorists before the war, in Iraq. All that violence came after the US invaded the country. And the insurgency took the US exactly to where it wanted to go: to a guerilla war. When I think of all the generals (who remember Vietnam) who said a guerilla war must be absolutely avoided!!
Now you're right in it and stuck. And worse: going after all those opposed to the war. Where's democracy if nobody can get out of the quagmire?
