28136/5 savage violence erupted in recent years

Q&A
ACROSS
A BROAD
SWATHE OF TERRITORY:
Wars in Ukraine & the whole Middle East,
Suicide bombings in Belgium, Xinjiang, Nigeria & Turkey,
Insurgencies from Yemen to Thailand, massacres in Paris, Tunisia,
Florida, Dhaka & Nice! Conventional wars between states are dwarfed
By those between terrorists, insurgents & counter-insurgents; and there
Are also economic, financial & cyber wars, wars over & through information,
Wars for the control of the drug trade & migration, & wars among urban militias &
Mafia groups! Future historians may well see such uncoordinated mayhem as commencing
The third - & the longest & strangest - of all world wars: one that approximates, in its ubiquity,
A Global Civil War. Unquestionably, forces more complex than in the previous two great wars are
at work. The violence, not confined to any fixed battlefields or front lines, feels endemic and quite
uncontrollable? More usually, even this war's most conspicious combatants - the terrorists -
are hard to identify! Attacks on Western cities since 9/11
have repeatedly provoked the questions:
"WHY DO THEY
HATE US?" &
"WHO ARE
THEY?"
