Decades? Ack! I'm really hoping one way or the other this is resolved in something that can only be measured in fractions of one decade. I'd like us gone within the next year or two.You might like to read up about the Roman occupation of Britain- another invasion that had to deal with armed insurgents and a suspicious population. In the end they had to build a wall in the North to keep the Scottish terrorists out! ;-) That wall was built 180 years after Julius Caesar first decided to occupy the place. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
