Hunting for those responsible for the September 11, 2001 attack.
If they had a nation, a government, an army, navy, air force, marine corps, they would be easier to fight, such as (WWII) Germany, Italy, Japan; or the Korean War, fighting North Korea and Communist China; or the Vietnam War, fighting North Vietnam...which had an air force to fight...an army to fight. Fighting terrorists or other forms of criminals is something no nation has had to do before; on this scale (world wide-the global war on terrorism).
New century; new class of war.
