These cowardly pieces of work come out at night and set IEDs and strap bombs on the feeble minded because they know they can’t win a face to face fight against United States millitary personnel. Again, I hope he is in hell.
It's not just that, it's because, unlike every world power that existed in human history, they know that the US won't go into their homeland and kill all their people. If a Roman, Mongol, Turk, Arab, Inca, or Persian foe ever was so troublesome, they would be removed from their homelands and/or executed/enslaved/raped. They know we won't do that to them, that we will only try to fight those who actually committed the acts, not their whole society. And so they teke advantage of our humanity while exposing their lack of same.
If we ever did treat this like an old fashioned war, it would be over in 3 days. I hope for our sake they don't push us to that.
