The increasingly sophisticated understanding of counterinsurgency led to an significant
discovery that could be applied with success to other forms of conflict. The political dominance
of internal wars is also to be found in some international conflicts. The evidence for this is
empirical, no satisfactory general theory has yet been formulated. It is difficult to put a date on
this insight, but some of the examples of recent history are illustrative. The U.S bombing of
Libya on. 14 April 1986 is one. That mission was conducted for political and psychological
purposes. It was not a simple military operation, but delivered a loud message that state-
sponsored terrorism would not go unpunished. Military targets were hit, but their destruction
was not the driving purpose. Rules of engagement were strict; there were to be no attacks on
targets of opportunity. Despite precautions, unintentional damage to other than selected targets
occurred.
1. The discovery attained after the increasingly better understanding of counterinsurgency
is.....................
a) that the driving force behind both internal and some international conflicts is political.
b) that though national conflicts are politically motivated, international ones involve military
objectives.
c) that people understand increasingly better that insurgency is directed towards the
disestablishment of the governing bodies of countries.
