and the point is exactly that...that the insurgents are fish swimming in the sea of peasants. It's very, very hard to tell them apart, unless they're actually shooting at you. Now take the Fallujah bloodbath, and try to imagine the US military doing the same thing in the US in a city full of US citizens. They wouldn't be able to use the standard racist means to differentiate between themselves and the enemy. The people they'd be fighting amongst would be their own families. And the military wouldn't be able to supress a widespread insurrection unless they were willing to also massacre innocent US civilians.
