Escalating violence claims more lives

Not civilian lives. Terrorist lives.

U.S. and Iraqi forces killed more than 60 insurgent and militia fighters in intense battles over the weekend, with most of the casualties believed to have been al-Qaida fighters, officials said Sunday

The cities are closing down to them, and open country with no cover is a hell of a place to try and run an insurgency from when your opponent owns the air. You can stand and die, or run and die tired. Hide and die alone in the darkness. Mass forces and die surrounded by friends.

A part of me almost wants to feel sorry for them. And then I remember the car bombs in the schoolyards, the murder and intimidation campaigns and the beheading videos. The vision they’d impose and the ruthlessness with which they would impose it.

And then I think: Good.
