War industries and supply lines are accepted as legitimate military targets. The point you, (and Rumsfeld) miss about asymetrical warfare is that the "major powers" don't get to set the definition. That is why the lines between armies, guerillas, and lone madmen begin to blur in such situations. The unilateral nature of the invasion of Iraq further blurred any international agreements. During the Second World War, it was decided that the Axis could not be allowed to use such tactics with impunity, and therefore the Allies developed their own program of "strategic bombing" It only took the allies a single day to respond to bombs by just a few German planes in London which injured less than 50 people and may well have been a misdirected attack on a suburban oil depot, with the first directed attack on a civilian target, Berlin.
