Bard O'Neill on Insurgency, Terrorism and the Iraq War
An expert on insurgencies talks about what history tells us about rebellions like the one in Iraq, why the U.S. seemed unprepared for the violent opposition there, and why the killing might not stop for decades.

Bard E. O'Neill, a former Air Force officer and now a professor at the National Defense University, teaches future military leaders about insurgencies and is the author of "Insurgency & Terrorism: Inside Modern Revolutionary Warfare," a new edition of which will be published in 2005. The book is a meticulous analysis of the types of insurgencies, their goals and strategies, and why they succeed or fail. We talked with Professor O'Neil two days after the 2004 election to find out what the history of insurgencies tells us about the American dilemma in Iraq.
