There's a logical gap between the first sentence and the second. If
traditional warfare is hopeless, then maybe it's time to try untraditional
warfare. Terror, guerilla warfare, NBC weapons... you know, the stuff that
allegedly justified the vastly powerful US attacking the wimpy Iraqi military
with our 30-year delta.
And it's not like large corporations are a shining model of behavior. They've
been relatively non-violent this century (vs. the East India Companies) but
they'll happily step outside of the market and try to use governmental forces
against each other, or just try to get money from the government.
