Revisiting the Battle of 9-11
This chapter critically examines the U.S. response to the 9-11 attacks, linking it to historical military strategies from ancient Greece and Rome. It argues that a lack of decisive action against the root causes of terrorism has resulted in prolonged conflicts without clear victories, while also emphasizing the complexities of engaging a non-state enemy. The chapter advocates for a re-evaluation of military objectives and strategies, drawing lessons from historical battles and highlighting the ineffectiveness of negotiation with extremist groups.
