I know it's hard for those like Gingrich, Chenny, CU4, etc., who have never been in the military, to grasp how wars are fought. But since Obama, who never served either, has caught on, maybe there's hope.
So terrorism, insurgency, guerrilla warfare, and so forth, are all tactics. These tactics aren't generic to any particular time, place, or people, rather they are methods, previously praticed and articulated, sitting on the shelf, to be taken down and used when deemed appropriate. When you find yourself the target of one or more of these tactics you have to attempt to counter them with your own appropriate methods.
Now, burning the Koran, when facing a muslim foe, in a muslim country, that's using terrorism, insurgency, and guerilla forces taticly, wouldn't be an appropriate counter measure would it? That isn't too hard to grasp is it?
