I recall that after the initial invasion there was a certain disdain by the British regarding the "insensitive" approach taken by the US troops. Sadly, there tactics do not appear to be working.

Yup... so much for that "hands off" approach of the Brits.

I wouldn't get too cocky. They've kep the peace there pretty well. They are bloody experienced in using the military in urban zones far beyond US experience - they had all the bloody mistakes and savageries of Northern Ireland for the last 30 years and they took them on board. I'd rate them as the best Western army for using military forces in urban zones...mind you, that should always be the last resport anyway
