And how long did it take the Native Americans to accept the fact that they’re never getting their land back. 250 years maybe, from the Pequot War to Chief Joseph’s “I will fight no more forever”? Asymmetrical warfare can drag on for a long time, especially when you’re taking their lands and destroying their culture and exterminating their people. They’ll use whatever tactics are available to them. We used to call them savages, now they’re called terrorists. ”Le plus ca change,” eh?
