“suicide bombers are only an attractive option because *nothing else works* against the US military”

I would argue that the status quo of the Muslim Terrorist is the suicide attack. Not only against us but also against a lot of enemies.

They first used that against us by getting high of kef and attacking us in the Philippines. Also, the FLN used this method of attacking the French. I would expect nothing less from them.

Some of the things that need to be addressed are how do you fight an enemy that does not use uniforms or obey any international laws.

The key thing the author pointed out was why would you face the worlds most powerful military by conventional means. It is up to our leaders to determine if we change our doctrine to adapt to it.

By chipping away at his base support.

In Iraq there have been a spate of suicide bombings, and most of the victims have been Iraqis.

This has led to a flood of local intelligence pouring into the Alliance security forces on the location of insurgents leading to the small local victories that are published on this very web site now and again.

In wars of this nature it is not what your enemy is doing that is of prime importance but what the effect is on the target population that both sides claim to represent
