“Salvador Option” mooted for Iraq
Some in the Pentagon have now been mooting the idea of training Iraqi hit squads to target insurgents and their sympathisers to quash open civilian support for them.
But for this to work would mean out-terrorising the Iraqi rebels, a difficult task indeed.
Nor is success for a Salvador-style death squad democracy guaranteed.
I hope that this does not take place again. It was a terrible way of dealing with opposition. I believe that repression does not bring peace. So what will work? That is something that I am haven’t worked out, but I do know that the “Salvador Option” is evil. It must not be an way of dealing with insurgents.
