During counter-terror classes in the Marines, we were told that most experts rank the following "Big Four" as the answer. Hezbollah, The IRA, Tamil Tigers, Al Qaeda. (with the PLO and the Algerian FLN, also mentioned). What is your opinion.

I would put the big 4 as
CIA
MI6
Mossad
ISI
All opf the others are minor compared to the capabilities of these organisations.
They are used to crete trouble in areas where war is planned, in order to crete a seemingly reasonable excuse for war. They are controlled not by the governments, but by tyhe people who control the governments - the people with the money - the people who own the Federal Reserve, major oil comanies and huge corporations.
They are known as the Illuminati, or New World Order.

It really depends on your criterion for success, is it body count, or political effectiveness? The Hezbollah seems to be doing a good job of getting what they want, so I would have to say they are successful. The IRA has an effective organization, so effective they feel able to give up the gun. The Tigers with their suicide pills, and child fighters set the standard for dedication. Al Qaeda seems to have been a bit of a flash in the pan in some ways. The FLN cut a lot of throats, but failed politcally for that very reason.

The Viet Cong did fairly well, all things considered. While most US forces in Vietnam considered the NVA to be something of a joke, they had a high level of respect for the capabilities of the VC.
Of course, that was just a little over the 30 year mark you mentioned, so...

Hezbollah...look at what they achieved this past summer and yet initially they were under the impression that the kidnapping of the Israeli soldiers would end in a few days without a shot being fired. Considering their gross miscalculation, they still managed to manhandle the Israelis when the ground invasion began.

it should be obvious that the al Qaeda must be the most lethal and best organized , as they kicked the **** out of th Russians who is 50 times bigger than they are ,with the help of the good old U,S, now they are kicking **** out of the U,S, with the help of probable Russia, Iran, China, and most of the Muslim world, But,things would be different if our mens hands were not tied ,
