Not that I'm recommending the piece, because I'm not recommending it. It says that the 'central fallacy at the heart of the current [war on terror] narrative is that it employs a single prism to view a complex world' - a facile charge that could be levelled against more or less any organizing perspective: human rights campaign, war on poverty, fight against fascism, etc. The authors do notice, however, that the coming of Obama...
... did not mean the end of the global war (rephrased in his inaugural address as a war "against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred"), despite an outbreak of media chatter in the following days about whether the death of a slogan meant the end of the war itself... [W]e find the pronouncements of the global war on terror's demise to be premature.
Snap.
