#2 It seems like the favorite tactic of the so-called 'insurgents' the world around is to destroy the infrastructure that serves the general population in order to convince the people that the sitting government should not be supported (since it cannot protect the infrastructure.)

What happens if they win? They've established precedent; can they protect the infrastructure any better from the next 'insurgency'? How many cycles of this will it take until the people catch on and choose a side?

#3 How many cycles of this will it take until the people catch on and choose a side?

What it takes is for enough of the "people" to start;

1:) Dying
2:) Starving
3:) Freezing
4:) Insert significant other form of misery >here<

Witness the decades of self-imposed suffering that the Palestinians have gone through without any abatement in their stupidity. Now that they've elected Hamas and Sudden Donor Fatigue has set in, the whingeing has ratcheted up like never before. Famine overcomes stupidity, sooner or later.
