- Absolutely fascinating. For once this all makes sense to me. I wonder how Obama (or Clinton) would react to this article and if they would agree with it or not.
From the page: "Fourth Generation intellectuals ... have pointed out over and over that the 4th Generation is ... a return to the way war worked before the rise of the state. Now, as then, many different entities, not just governments of states, will wage war. They will wage war for many different reasons, not just "the extension of politics by other means." And they will use many different tools to fight war, not restricting themselves to what we recognize as military forces.
Many of the tactics Fourth Generation opponents use are standard guerilla tactics. Others, including much of what we call "terrorism," are classic Arab light cavalry warfare carried out with modern technology at the operational and strategic, not just tactical, levels."

Very interesting article about why the US tactics in Iraq are not working.
From the page: "history also teaches us that not all problems have sollutions."
I'd say some problems can at best, only be attempted to be prevented.
