Progress on the so-called 'War on Terrorism' is slow. There is no agreed definition of terrorism and no consistent government policy in respect of it. Consideration of terrorism ignores the role of some governments in what could be regarded as terrorist activity, often with the connivance of others for reasons of political expediency. The special case of suicide terrorism is discussed in detail. It is concluded that the world is now exposed to a new form of warfare, and that even with new military thinking this could continue for perhaps decades to come.
所谓的“反恐战争”进展缓慢。对于恐怖主义没有公认的定义，也没有关于它的一致政府政策。对恐怖主义的考量忽视了一些政府在可被视为恐怖主义活动中的作用，而其他政府往往出于政治权宜之计的原因对此默许。文中详细讨论了自杀式恐怖主义这一特殊情况。得出的结论是，世界现在面临一种新的战争形式，而且即使有新的军事思维，这种情况可能还会持续几十年。
