Evidence

From Bush to Obama to Trump and now Biden, each executive presiding over the War on Terror steered it forward globally. This war was created in the name of protecting civilization, supplanted by a campaign where drones and spies donned the thin mask of harmony, and back to a trumped-up clash of civilizations orchestrated by an apocalyptic demagogue. A fluidly remade War on Terror that offered the world, and the constellation of nations that fed on the war, an American template for unleashing their own domestic crusades against an entire faith and its followers. — Khaled A.
