34. No, it would die from lack of supplies & sanctuary
A guerilla movement must move throught the population as a fish through water... Moa Tse Dung With a Bush approal rating at 55%, most of your water will be dry land. Add too that the fact that most liberals won't support a violent movement and you end up with a motley few rag-tag bomb throwers, like the late 60's early 70's radicals.

Guerillas need supplies. It is romantic fiction that the guerillas live & fight from captured government supplies. It just isn't real life. How would you fight an M1-A2 Abrams tank, or a helicopter, or a smart-bomb. And contrary to radical fantasy - those things WORK.

Where would you hide? Sure, a few individuals can hide very well as OBL & Saddam have proven, but as soon as you start trying to gather forces for an attack you would be spotted. The survelince abilities of the military are awesome.

It is a fantasy, and O'Rouke isn't here.
