I'd sure need a lot of information that I lack in order to answer such a broad question, particularly with respect to the tactical options available. You're also assuming that there is a real difference between "insurgents" and "terrorists" in Iraq. Given the wanton targeting of civilians and the involvement of outsiders, I'm not convinced that the more sanitized moniker of "insurgents" is even appropriate. The term "insurgents" seems to be utilized in order to attribute some legitimacy to the actions taken. But deliberately killing a professor or blowing up a carload of civilians both amount to murder, don't they? I'd call it terrorism rather than some arguably justifiable political statement.
