If they were ten feet tall, maybe we could win. But they look just like, and in most cases are, the people we claim to be there to help. Many mistakes we make (and many bits of collateral damage if those aren't counted as mistakes) when attempting to kill the bad guys make more bad guys. Even when the guys we get are bad guys, it may not be believed, and thus generate more bad guys. Heck, just being there generates more bad guys.

You can't play whack-a-mole against oobleck. Or a cat-in-the-hat-bathtub-ring.
