Haplo is spouting the approach the French returned to.

It gives a small quick boost with lots of wider negative consequences then fails in spectacular fashion in very short order.

Saddam tried it...it failed
Turkey tried it ....it failed
Burma tried it...it failed
........the list is endless
Armchair generals eh...you gotta love it, so pathetic its almost funny
