I am familiar with the concept of Guerrilla warfare. It is a very effective technique, but it relies on a political victory, not a military one. The point of Asymmetrical Warfare is to make the other guys decide that the benefit of conquering the territory doesn't outweigh all the damage they take in doing so. So for a invading army it is one thing. For a government that is tyrannical and willing to do anything to stay in power? Also said tyrannical government wouldn't hesitate because of something like collateral damage, which is one of the big issues in the war in the Middle East right now. Also I actually am not aware of any examples when a force without specialized weaponry did significant damage to a superior force. Iraq and Afghanistan we are dealing with anti-armor weapons. Which I remind you was given to them by an outside force.
