- uuilly 18y agoAlong these lines get "The Battle of Algiers" on netflix. When Iraq started going badly they actually had a huge screening in the pentagon.
- newt0311 18y agoToo bad that the tactics that served the French so well in Algiers can not be applied in Iraq.
- davidhelgason 18y agoThey "served" the French for a while, as they might serve the US in Iraq... for a while that is. But remember that just when the French thought they'd suppressed Algerian resistance, it erupted violently and the result was a long and extremely bloody civil war.
