#4  We need to catch one of these despicable crimes, and target it with napalm and cluster bombs from a dozen BUFFS. I'm sure we could find any surviving attendees by the brown trails they leave behind.

One of these days, the US is going to realize that the only way to win the "hearts and minds" of these people is to prove that we can do more damage in 15 minutes than they do in a year, and we can do it repeatedly, as long as necessary. They'll keep fighting as long as they think they can win. One good, heavy ARCLIGHT strike would change a few thousand minds on that, and make the locals fearful enough they would run the rest out of their land. Unfortunately, we have lawyers running this war, not generals.

#2  The stone people accused of adultery, but blow up spies. Apparently treason isn't the worst crime for these people as is considered by some Western cultures.
