Not to threadjack, but "Asymmetrical Warfare" isn't a new notion. I first learned about it from a book about the Boer War which was published in the 60s. I don't recall the title, it was at least 5 years ago.
It isn't by definition a scare tactic topic, even if it may be used as such by certain parties right now. It is a real applicable principle. Israel-Palestine is the standard example. Suicide bombers vs missiles, Israeli forces only allowing Palestinians with a wife and children inside the wall to work because they are the ones with something to loose and are less likely to be 'attackers'.
