Thus, for example, the conventional war in Kosovo lasted for two months, only to usher in a six-year asymmetric conflict. Likewise, America’s three-week “shock and awe” campaign in Iraq in 2003 ended in “victory,” but opened the gates of hell for occupiers and ordinary Iraqis alike.
Au Kosovo par exemple, la guerre conventionnelle n’a duré que deux mois, mais a débouché sur six années de conflit.
