[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jay the Obscure: [QB] [QUOTE]Somehow I can't picture the Continentals trying to blow up Parliament.[/QUOTE]The only thing I can think is that for some folks, it must somehow be quite self-satisfying to view history so simply. Or to see that tactics and strategy insurgencey groups use have changed over time. To be sure, the 1/3 of the Americans who organized to fight the British were an insurgence group. Had such a revolution started yesterday, I think we can be sure that 17th century tactics would not be used again. It is therefore silly to require the same of Al-Qaeda or the Taliban or the FARC in Columbia for that matter. The rules of war have gone out the window a long time ago. Victory in one's particular cause is now the only thing that matters. [/QB][/QUOTE]
