Sadly our military show little imagination or determination to move everything to closure, though maybe it is just their hands are bound by political creeps in London.

Take Falluja. On the big map of the city in the operations room mark it off in square miles (not kilometres). Prioritise them according to insurgent density. Leaflet all the residents in the square miles that they should evict the insurgents. At the next atrocity in a marked square you remind people they have 24hrs to get out. Then when the time is up, if the insurgents have not been handed over, you flatten the square, and ad infinitum until either the insurgents have moved on or the city stands no more. The Israelis bless them have built a wall to keep out terrorists. we should circle Falluja with just such a wall.

We should also tell insurgents that for every Brit they kidnap, we will send 10 new troopers to the region - they themselves will become the cause for extension of the troubles. Likewise we might reduce our troops on a sliding scale for permanent good behaviour.
