Not even remotely the same thing... we have no immediate control or knowledge of their actions.
If they want the insurgency/terror to end, they have it in their immediate power to do something about it.
This is also true of those neighborhoods and individuals that have knowledge of ANY terrorist support/whereabouts.
If they want it to end... it would take a week. "This person, this house, this family, this business and these organizations/charities are insurgents/terrorists... please remove them now, we want to govern ourselves."
This does not happen, so they don't want it. Harboring the enemy is compliance, it is support, being accomplices and they should be treated as such. I'm not saying attacking them... I'm saying leave.
BTW, fear is not an excuse for not doing the right thing... our boys & ladies are afraid, but they risk their lives and die for Iraq's freedom every day.
Keep in mind, this post is true of all neighborhoods worldwide that harbor terrorists. Don't help, you are an accomplice.
