A Smarter Way Of War?

David Axe is itching for the US to wipe out Congo's Lord's Resistance Army, a group that "began in the 1980s as a Ugandan rebel movement with actual grievances [but] is now just a roving tribe of killers":

No massive troop deployment. No occupation. No drawn-out conflict. No headline news in the U.S. Just a few spooks, a few commandos, some airplanes and choppers and the permission of Congolese president Joseph Kabila. By American military standards, it wouldn’t take much. But it would make life a lot safer for millions of people in Central Africa — and might help reduce the cost to the world of keeping Congo on life support. Plus, it could show the way forward for a smarter, less expensive American way of war.
