Grimm, I often think of war as a wildly out of control game of chicken. Everyone takes chances and pushes until one side of the other either blinks of gets killed trying.
The so called "war on terror" will bring that game of chicken to a new level, because nobody has really had to play this game before on an international level (except maybe britain, with the IRA). Terror, the threat of terror, and the people who make those threats are very much immune to the normal pressures of statehood. The methods needed to combat this menace are, well, not clearly known to anyone.
