There are quite a few things to be understood here. First, mostly these are individual efforts of freelance warriors, or those of ragtag bands with nothing substantial to glue them together. They cannot stand before the sustained assault of an organised national army, navy, air force, paramilitary units and Special Forces. They don’t have the advantage of eye-in-the sky cameras orbiting in space and feeding military intelligence to the armed forces headquarters of a country round the clock as well as unmanned aircraft flying over rebel formations and transmitting crucial data to the command headquarters. All that makes launching and sustaining an effective attack against rebels more viable.
This is not to intimidate or awe our misguided brethren by showing the relative strength of the state forces against them. Let it be known to people hiding behind the human shield of innocent girl students in Islamabad’s Lal Masjid (and others like them all over the world) that the state has the option to attack them in several ways: aerial strafing with high precision and devastating weapons used from a bomber, firing into a besieged building from a helicopter gunship, shelling with howitzers which can throw even nuclear grenades up to 25 kilometres, and using missiles. Extraordinary military logistics, accurate information on the rebel occupants of a building, including which individual is sitting or standing in which area of a room in the building make the chances of rebels winning a victory over their national armed forces slim.
