Characterizing the Enemy

Authored by Michael Pate on October 17th, 2003 at 11:08 PM

Freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless coward. And freedom will be defended. - George W. Bush

Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, it’s not cowardly. - Bill Maher

I do not know about others but in my insane moments, I have begun to see the logic of suicide bombing. And such moments are now coming with a disturbing frequency. - Anwaar Hussain

Trinitarian warfare is the idea that war is between states, prosecuted by professional militaries, with the people off-limits. Non-trinitarian warfare is based on the concept that the people are the military and the state. War is total and absolute. There are no divisions. The problem is that non-trinitarian warfare is the ascendent method. It can be prosecuted with success against conventional militaries with little technology, money, or organization. It can win against what would seem to be overwhelming force. - John Robb

Do we live in an age of wimpy enemies? In place of Ronald Reagan’s terrifying Soviet Union, George W. has a huge military bristling with modern weapons to wield against… Osama and Saddam. - Philip Greenspun
