War Like No Other: Al Qaeda and the U.S. Strategy for Combating Terrorism

TL;DRAbstract

Abstract : September 11th was a watershed event and catapulted the United States into a war unique in our history. Al Qaeda and Associated Networks (AQAN) have proven to be imaginative and ruthless foes with a long term asymmetric erosion strategy targeted at the will of the American people. The intent of this strategy is to affect the withdrawal of U.S. influence from the Middle East in order to hasten the fall of corrupt autocratic regimes in the region and establish an Islamic Caliphate. The U.S. strategy while well crafted to attack terrorist organizations and protect the homeland does not sufficiently address some of the underlying causes of terrorism is too state centric and lacks a cultural perspective.
