When the US army faces an upsurge undertaken by Saddam's Sunni thugs, it is naïve for the American administration to believe that their 'reprisals' consist in arresting, jailing and killing some terrorists. Total ignorance of the Death Cult practiced by the fanatic extremists leaves the embattled US administration totally defenseless. The Americans do not know that, by killing the extremists, they just offer them the Paradise on Earth; they do not implement reprisals.
Pertinent retaliation against the Death Cult practitioners signifies political and military actions that totally annihilate even the elements of their opponents' dreams, obliterate the basics of their opponents' targets, and destroy the tools of their opponents. In other words, the US must understand that they face – and therefore must consciously engage themselves in – a total war.
More precisely, as an example, we would introduce the reader into the logic of this approach. The Islamic Terror network uses the Iraqi Sunnis against the Americans. This is a safe evaluation. So, this means that the Iraqi Sunnis are a tool of the terrorists. The Islamic Terror network dreams of an Islamic Iraq ruled by Sunnis. Consequently, this makes of the Sunnis an element of the terrorists' dreams. Accordingly, the only realistic reprisals would be to destroy the Iraqi Sunnis, and to make of them a non-element of the terrorists' dreams! What do they have to do more precisely?
