War on terror: geopolitical hegemony
The war on terror, as it has been dubbed by the Bush Administration, is no small matter of a few men bent on sowing terror in the heart of America. It is a much more sinister plot to over-run and install a brand of Islam which is brutal and un-Islamic in nas many countries all over the globe. Waving the banner of Holy War, or Jihad, these unholy warriors wreak havoc not only on their enemies but also on their hapless supporters. Brainwashing new recruits, impressionable, hopeless young boys and girls into becoming carriers of suffering and human misery, the masterminds of destruction lure their victims with promises of money for their families as well as a special place for them in a fool's paradise, into performing the ultimate of foolish self-sacrifices.
Al-Qaeda has managed to wage a small propaganda success with their successful sorties into the various parts of the world targetting especially U.S. Warships like the Cole and the personnel apartment complex in Saudi Arabia as well as the U.S. Embassy in Kenya. Brutal attacks successfully carried out in Bali, Indonesia and Manila, Philippines has emboldened these terroristic bands into more daring attacks culminating in the big blow to American security in the 9/11 attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center Building in New York.
This was a daring, calculated move on their part and this has backfired immensely as it galvanized the Americal will to fight, and made patriots of simple citizens. The American debacle has resulted in a vicious retaliation which ousted the Taliban and Al-Qaeda from their Afghanistan base of operations. Next to fall was Saddam Hussein of Iraq who unsuccessfully waged a hopeless campaign to convince the United Nations to stop the United States from invading his country.
Although there was a bit of failure on the part of America to contain a burgeoning guerilla war from becoming a full-scale civil war in Iraq following its successful invasion and occupation, a measure of success was attained by American might with the targetting and death or Al-Zarqawi, the chief Al-Qaeda terror mastermind in Iraq. This was a lucky break for the Bush administration who has increasingly taken flak for a botched job in Iraq. Die-hard Bush apologists were being effectively silenced by their deafeaning lack of success in Irag on the months prior to the killing of Al-ZarQawi.
The conflict is far from over. Even though Al-Qaeda seems to be on the defensive in many parts of the globe, it is not yet to be counted out. Australian authoties managed a coup when it rounded up a number of suspects who belonged to Australian terrorist cells. The capture and trial of the bombing suspects and mastermind in Indonesia has also caused this terrorist franchise to fall silent in that part of the globe. The killing of Indonesian bombing import Fathur has also crippled the Abu Sayyaf terror organization in the Philippines; the bloody outcome of a failed prison revolt by terrorist prisoners which resulted in the deaths of the chief henchmen of this terror cell has further placed a damper on this wildy exuberant and deadly organization.
