I should point out that in most historical cases of occupation, there is a delay of about six months between the beginning of an occupation and the rise of the resistance to it. Oh, I see. So when the dancing Iraqis meet us in the street with flowers, that is just a prelude to them starting Urban Warfare against us six months later. Boy, they are really sneaky, aren't they?

Hi all; A reminder on assassination in guerilla warfare: Bilow, March 7, 2003 As far as people armed with pistols getting involved in fire fights with soldiers armed with automatic weapons, that comment misses the point of guerilla warfare. Guerillas use pistols as an assassination tool, not as a military arm. Soldiers walking in the street will be shot in the face by people who disappear with the running crowds. Uninvolved civilians will be too frightened to say where the perpetrators went or who they are. Similarly, hunting rifles are not good weapons to take to an automatic weapons fight. But they're perfectly suited for killing soldiers at a distance. #reply-18668030 -- Carl
