I don't know whether to fear a bunch of ragtag freedom fighters from another country, or my own government's 1984-style policies.

Futile.
You don't wage war on an idea!
Terrorism is not even a mindset.
It's just a method of a group to get their message out to the world.

Realist 1: Have you heard, the Americans are calling their invasion of Iraq "the war on terror"?
Realist 2: Who said they don't understand irony?

War On Terror: A futile war on an abstract term. Is in fact a oxymoron as surely war is a form of terror? Is completely self defeating as bombing people, invading their countries and taking their oil is a hardly a method for making people love the west and renounce violence. violence begets violence, an eye for an eye and the whole world is blind. If Iraq is revenge however, it is wayy out of proportion- 200,000 civilians dead for the 3000 dead on 9/11. And none of the terrorists were iraqi.
war on drugs- supply and demand, people want high, they get high. no stopping it. Equally pointless as war on terror.

The global conflict between radical Islam and Western democratic countries. Takes the form of intelligence gathering, police action, propaganda, terrorist attacks, diplomacy and military action.
After groups like Al Qaeda declared war on America in the 90s, they followed up with several attacks on US interests abroad and 9/11 at home. This lead to a more aggressive stance by the US and its allies.

While some people like to claim that there's no "war on terror"...there actually is and it is very real.
