Uncommon Commentary #339: UC #338 Follow-Up
We need to refine the way
that we prosecute not only the terrorists but also the war against terrorists. When
a state is at war versus a fellow state, it achieves victory by eliminating or
reducing the opposing state's ability to wage war; in a campaign versus a
stateless terrorism organization, which has a seemingly endless supply of
fanatics whose concept of "martyrdom" is something to be desired
rather than avoided, one must adopt less conventional tactics.
