Creating insurgents

The Los Angeles Times has an article entitled, "Aiming for a More Subtle Fighting Force" that talks about Lt. Gen. Peter Chiarelli, who has been training U.S. troops to be more culturally sensitive and to use less force:

We have to understand that the way we treat Iraqis has a direct effect on the number of insurgents that we are fighting.... For every one that I kill, I create almost 10 more.

- Lt. Gen. Peter Chiarelli

You'd think that would be obvious. But at least somebody's trying to get it across.
