 THE IRANIAN: Iran's guerrilla movement, Maziar Behrooz
By making their existence known, the guerrillas addressed three audiences: first, they were letting the people, or khalq, their preferred term, know that reality was not as the shah presented and that resistance to his rule not only had not ceased but had been reinvigorated.
The guerrilla movement of the 1970s is often associated with the use of violence as the prime means of confronting the imperial regime.
The guerrillas were not able to organize the khalq under the banner of a revolutionary movement, they failed to lead the revolution, and their revolutionary alternative seems irrelevant today.

 Counter-Guerrilla Air Warfare: The War in Southern Lebanon
Guerrilla movements depend on a broad base in the population, and if they lack such support, they concentrate their activity on 'conquering' it by ideological, social, and violent methods.
The principal goals of a war against guerrillas is the preservation of the regime, of the population's normal course of life, and the removal of the strategic threat which the guerrilla movement constitutes.
The organizational background of most air forces is based on the principle of a central chain of command.66 Under its umbrella, autonomous functions of planning, command intelligence and logistics are connected to each other and to the operational units in parallel lines of communication.

As for the Court of Appeals' conclusion that the guerrillas' "motive in carrying out the kidnapping is political": it apparently meant by this that the guerrillas seek to fill their ranks in order to carry on their war against the government and pursue their political goals.
It is also undisputed that the cause of that harm, if it should occur, is the guerrilla organization's displeasure with his refusal to join them in their armed insurrection against the government.
First, he failed to prove that his refusal to join the guerrillas was politically motivated; indeed, he testified that he was at least in part motivated by a fear that government forces would retaliate against him or his family if he joined the guerrillas.

I used the term "guerrilla HCI" in the title of this chapter because I believe that simplified usability methods can be a way for a company to gradually build up its reliance on systematic usability methods, starting with the bare minimum and gradually progressing to a more refined lifecycle approach.
Unfortunately, organizations are more difficult to convert, so they mostly have to be conquered from within by the use of guerrilla methods like discount usability engineering that gradually show more and more people that usability methods work and improve products.

In 1952 intelligence was given a place of paramount importance, and penetration of the guerrilla organization became the chief goal.

The result was a rising number of guerrilla captures and casualties, a swing in popular support away from the guerrillas, and greater ease in recruiting reliable counterinsurgency agents.
