j, It's up to the locals as to whether you win insurgencies. The S. Vietnamese didn't really think the corrupt, puppet governments we put up there were worth dying for, so they didn't. We could have stayed there 20 years and never "won" that war, but we could have lost 100,000 Americans instead of half that. The same logic goes for Iraq. yet the lines to hire police keep growing, even though they are targets - seems they are still willing to die for the government they have elected.
