There was a negotiated surrender, with commanders able to order combatants to stand down. Most significantly, we spent the time and money to rebuild the nations after the war so there wouldn't be partisan guerillas and so they would reenter the world as productive citizens. <br /><br />None of this 8https://www.blogger.com/profile/00897636875216996092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014331.post-66156982264738542662010-07-24T19:08:25.511-04:002010-07-24T19:08:25.511-04:00"We" have singificantly reduced the numb..."We" have singificantly reduced the number of terrorists, actually.<br /><br />There is a way to defeat them.
