You might be interested to read the writings of William S. Lind, and his notion of fourth generation war.

I read up some on his concept of 4GW. It seems to be little more than guerilla war. Essentially, there's no true front to apply traditional military force. But one of the key components of it seemed to be decentralization of the military away from the state, which I seriously doubt would happen in N. Korea or China. Also, I'm personally not quite sure if I think that this qualifies as true warfare, simply because it lacks the unification that war traditionally has. There seems to be no unity of purpose, and is merely murder and terrorism for it's own sake.

I don't see how this thread could have possibly given you any real insight, when you're constantly posting messages asserting the complete hegemony of the United States, with what I consider to be extreme hubris. As if the rest of the world needs reminding.

Personally, I think the rest of the world DOES need reminding. The rest of the world seems to want the US to deal with them as equals, when that's just not the case. And these countries don't deal with nations they feel lower as equals, which seems fairly hypocritical. I think much of the international outrage against the US's unilateral action isn't because they dislike what the US did, but are resentful that they lack the capacity to attempt any large-scale unilateral action. Essentially, I am trying to see if the dislike of America is directed at America, or would it be directed at any country with the same disproportionate amount of power.
