"The answer is not to go after enemy populations, but to change the rules ourselves:"

Many excellent points and background info in this article.
For me, the best of the best was the line above. Well stated!

Funny. He fails to mention any rule changes that would advance our cause.

In my case I advocate attacking their populations. We should especially exploit any differences between their populations. For example, in Iraq we should have encouraged a bloodbath by the Shia and Kurds at the Sunni's expense.
Dunno what divisions we can exploit in Iran and Syria, but once located we should exploit them mercilessly.
