Unfortunately I think this is going to lead to an escalation of violence.
I don't think these folks have a clue at the weaponery the US has in its arsenal, but has been holding back on using.
I think they really need to start bringin in the A10's and start straffing the streets in the areas that are out of control until the people there decide its better to go with the program than supporting the insurgency movement.
