Lind's article points to ominous factors indeed. I know neither of us can "prove" one way or the other that there are no good options in Iraq. But I don't see any. We're on a fool's errand there, and, to compound our difficulties, we are jeopardizing the real war on terrorism, on Al Qaeda, and tying ourselves down in that extremely unfortunate country, Iraq.

Those tank attacks roused my curiosity when I first heard of them. Had me wondering what they could have been using to blow up an M1. I read that the Israelis, who have a good deal of experience with fourth generation warfare, haven't found a good way to deal with it. It's what Americans are going to face more and more. It negates a lot of the advantages a superpower is assumed to have, and is especially effective against occupation troops. When you hear the usual cheerleaders braying about the US being the "world's sole superpower!" you can be sure they've never heard of 4gw.
