If you were the coutnry with all the technological, numerical, and other advantages, but were fighting a war that never seemed to end, how would you deal with it?


Consider Afghanistan and Iraq today.


I'll tell you how I will deal with it after everyone responded. You'll think I'm a 'bit' harsh, but......
We'll see.



Answer
It depends, the country needs to have some type of value. Besides OIL, there are plenty of other natural resources I can use to exploit for my own country, or at least keep my enemies from getting it.

1. Saturate their large cities with bombing missions the way we bombed Berlin and Tokyo.
2. These guerrillas are being hidden by civilians in the hope that I am too soft to bomb women and children. It won't work with me in charge.
3. Some good old fashioned World War I era mustard gas will clear out anyone.
4. Block any imports, so they will be starved into submission.
5. Allow certain "holes" in my blockade to allow refugees to flee, preferably to my enemies' countries. The refugees will serve a purpose by weakening the enemy country from within. If the enemy is so stupid to believe diversity is a strengh, then let them decay because of it.
6. Execute family members of known guerrilla fighters.
7. Other countries will decry the horror, but as I flood their countries with refugees, they won't be a threat for much longer.
8. Controlling this inferior country, I now have access to more natural resources and raw materials which will make me a force to be reckoned with.
9. Keep rival factions in that country at constant odds with each other. That way, they will never unite, and they will continue to kill each other off.

That is how The Roman Empire did it, Alexander the Great, The British Empire, and it was how the United States rose to number one. All of these great empires were not conquered by a foreign enemy, they fell apart from enemies within their own nations.
