Military Power Wins Battles for the U.S. And Israel, But Not the War by Rachelle Marshall

Were it not for the huge cost in human suffering, there would be something ludicrous about the conflicts now raging in the Middle East. In Israel a nuclear power armed with helicopter gunships and tanks nearly the length of a city block is unable to end mortar attacks by Palestinians who carry homemade missiles around on donkey carts. In Iraq the world’s only superpower is unable to protect its soldiers from roadside ambushes or prevent police stations from being blown up by car bombs. No matter how much firepower the Israelis and the Americans bring to bear, resistance to the two armies of occupation continues.
