>>Napolean learned nothing<< well, neither did Spain, nor Egypt nor Russia learn anything from him either. He did not just bring bayonets in, twas egalite, fraternite and liberte as well ("H*l, if it works in America, how come it does not in X*Y*Z?!") Took some time for Code Napoleon to kick in - in some places at least.

Not defending Napoleon (with O, btw) and not defending NeoCons either.

Re Guerilla tactics - some call it asymmetric response. Getting 100 shot hostages for 1 dead occupier response (asymmetric as well) in WWII in my country. or a couple of thou Egyptians mowed down during Napoleon's visit to Egypt - he just had a bad day they write -.
