We are regularly told
by interventionists — whether they be U.S. government employees or
neoconservative government wannabes — that the United States
can readily determine who is friendly and who is not in remote civil
wars in the developing world. The first basic rule in any
war — whether it be a conventional or counterinsurgency war — is
to know who is on your team and who is not. To the uninitiated,
this might seem like an easy task. And in a conventional war, in
which both sides wear distinctive uniforms, it is much easier than
in a counterinsurgency conflict, in which the enemy wears no
specific uniform or mark of designation and the enemy’s strategy is to
strike and then melt back into the general population.
