Terrorism and the Military

--Good vs. Evil, Mr. Fish

[Note: another favorite cartoonist, Mr. Fish, was axed last week.
"I was cut as a cost-saving measure."]

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end -
We are the champions
We are the champions
--We Are the Champions, Queen

A simple question: Can anyone posit a historical example of military action defeating a terror network? Further, can anyone provide examples of an occupying military power defeating a terrorist network solely via military means? We can restrict our survey to the 20th-21st centuries.

It is Ranger's position that while you can eliminate an externally imposed threat in another country (parachutists), you will never defeat an indigenous insurgent movement. Che in Bolivia and the Chinese guerrillas in Malay might be examples.

An external occupying power will never defeat an indigenous insurgent terrorist network.
