In previous traditional wars, the enemy had a face, a very specific name or nationality, and had a very specific goal. When you have an enemy that is not tangible, the \u201cwar on terror\u201d can go forever, because any time you feel afraid that someone might hurt you, it means the war hasn\u2019t ended, the terror is still there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">2.
