Well, MagiK, I personally wouldn't have a problem with restricting immigration from Arab states. Or throwing the foreign nationals here on dubious or no visas out. Actually, the guerilla war that was solved successfully , off the top of my head, was in the Mexican-American War(1846-48). When Mexican partisans started assaulting supply convoys, Zacahry Taylor ordered Rip Ford of the Texas Rangers (who were serving as volunteer scouts in the Army, but still under their own T.O.) to deal with the problem. His solution was simple, brutal, and effective. Whenever partisans attacked a supply train, the Rangers burned the nearest village, hanging anyone who objected. The attacks quickly stopped. (See Walter Prescott Webb, The Texas Rangers). BTW, that is one reason why the Rangesr are known as Los Tejanos Diablos, the Texas Devils, south of the border.
