“ A remarkably candid Pentagon analysis has recently argued that the « War on terror »-as the president named the conflict he has promoted since9/11-was a cover : America, it says, is not responding to the threat of a rival power, as it did in the Cold War.

This Judgement, by the Pentagon’s own analysts, put its finger on what some scholars have designated a clash between Christian and Islamic civilizations.
