in Afghanistan and Iraq. What makes these conflicts different from others that have come before is the fact that the wars are not against foreign states as such, but rather
what are regarded as fringe elements within those foreign states; for example, the war in Afghanistan is not against the Afghan government, but rather against the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, groups
characterized as being composed of "radical" and "extremist" Muslims who employ the use of terroristic attacks (such as the one against the World Trade Center) to advance their religious and
