I don't make general points. Every situation is unique.

In Algeria, the French were unable to hold onto their colony, despite incredible cruelty. The Algerians were crueler, but more importantly, it was their land.

The US has no intention of holding Iraq, we're hoping to persuade the Iraqi people to become democratic and open. Using collective punishment won't achieve that goal.
