Maybe that's because I'm just wimpy. But even many military theorists understand that "wiping out" terrorists isn't the solution.<br /><br />John Robb has a useful <a href="http://globalguerrillas.typepad.com/globalguerrillas/2004/05/4gw_fourth_gene.html/" rel="nofollow">brief</a>--it's short--on 4G Warfare. A key observation is that winning a 4G war is accomplished in the moral sphere.<br /><br />Now military theorist aren't going to give up on violence entirely. While I'm nearly a pacifist, I'm not quite. In any case it seems if people want to win against terrorists--or against criminal gangs--a clear eye towards the limitations of violence is really important.<br /><br />It's popular nowadays for people to denigrate the idea of human rights. I know that you are not one of those people. The recognition of fundamental human rights is a check on the urge to believe violence is the solution always. And standing for fundamental human rights is a moral stance. Winning against terror is in the moral sphere. <br /><br />In that light what side are those who advocate abrogating fundamental rights with the idea that will make us safer?John Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17126222842766191343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19300080.post-24366674647187070622010-07-15T08:34:55.547+03:002010-07-15T08:34:55.547+03:00Uganda's involvement in Somalia was a cover up...Uganda's involvement in Somalia was a cover up of the Congo scandal. <br />Remember how our Updf top brass looted billions of DRC resources to an extent of Uganda being sued for 10 Billion US Dollars!<br /><br />Shame upon our governmentDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01312994442909425114noreply@blogger.com
