When you turn cities into rubble and indiscriminately target civilians, only to find yourself bogged down in an asymmetric war.
Tangential but there’s a certain exchange from the Battle of Algiers movie I keep thinking of.
Journalist: M. Ben M'Hidi, don't you think it's a bit cowardly to use women's baskets and handbags to carry explosive devices that kill so many innocent people?
Ben M'Hidi: And doesn't it seem to you even more cowardly to drop napalm bombs on defenseless villages, so that there are a thousand times more innocent victims? Of course, if we had your airplanes it would be a lot easier for us. Give us your bombers, and you can have our baskets.
I hope everyone in the iof lives in constant fear of a tunnelchad popping up behind them to place a stick of dynamite in their back pocket, looney toons style. I also hope they have enough time to put up their "uh oh" sign for the camera.
