Steve Sailer on the Insurgency

Steve Sailer makes a point that I have made myself about Max Boot's error.

Namely, the lack of organization and unity among the insurgents makes it more difficult to defeat them, as there is no "head" to cut off.

The only way I can see to defeat the insurgency in Iraq is to convince Iraqis who want to join the insurgency that the cost of attacking coalition troops is too great; the only way I can see us having a chance of winning is with massive collective punishment. I think that is a bad idea, but it is the direction in which we are headed.

That is all.
