	Irregular Warfare Roadmap - By Mario Mancuso - Special Operations Technology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Unlike traditional warfare, which focuses on defeating an adversary’s military forces, the focus of irregular warfare is on the legitimacy of the relevant political authority.
		Irregular warfare favors indirect approaches, though it may employ the full range of military and other elements of national power, to erode an adversary’s power, influence and will.
		What differentiates irregular warfare from more conventional warfare is its emphasis on the use of irregular forces and other indirect, non-conventional methods and means to subvert, attrite and exhaust an adversary, or render him irrelevant to the host population, rather than on defeating him through direct conventional military confrontation.

	PARAMETERS, US Army War College Quarterly - Autumn 2006
		But today, the US military is embroiled in Iraq and elsewhere facing a complex global insurgency where it finds itself struggling to prevail in a type of war in which the enemy employs irregular warfare approaches to achieve its political aims.
		According to one military analyst, it is because American forces have a culture that seeks to ignore the requirements and challenges of irregular warfare, resulting in a requirement to relearn appropriate techniques with each new experience with this phenomenon.
		In the decade that followed the Soviet collapse, the US military’s insatiable desire to expand its technological supremacy was further justified by the successes it achieved in the 1991 Gulf War to liberate Kuwait from Saddam Hussein and in the liberation of Kosovo from the Serbs in 1999 with air power alone.

		As Daniel Ellsberg, a member of the group, recalls in his 2002 memoir "Secrets," Lansdale was critical of the heavy-handed military approach and idealistic in his commitment to democracy.
