So we should get the cameras out, slaughter half the country, then wash our hands clean and call it a day?
No amount of offense is going to make this go away. Not with a surge, not with camera-less warfare, not with anything. The more people we kill, the more people will hate us and the more insurgents there will be to fight. If we escalate our tactics and our numbers, it just escalates the whole thing and we're right back where we are now with bigger numbers.
