China and Russia crush these type of issues in their countries justas Clausewitz says to. If you don't crush their hopes and spirits an insurgency will never be relinquished. I haven't read On War in several years so pardon my paraphrasing. You guys remember that Muslim uprising a few years ago in Russia? Heard anything since?? Putin annihilated that whole village I am sure. China had a little uprising as well. That got nipped in the butt real quick. The difference? Selective adherance to the Geneva Convention and a population that dare not question its gubments actions.. And that folks, is why we will never crush these insurgencies.
