N2  - Al Qaeda, its associates and derivatives should be treated as insurgents whose objective is the overthrow of western style system of states, and against which the correct response is a global counterinsurgency. Draws on historical experiences of Russia, Britain, France, and the USA to identify the approaches that have proved effective in the past. Concludes with suggestions on how to apply these experiences to develop practical counters to the al-Qaeda style threat
