Terrorism, sadly, seems here to stay and to stay with a vengeance. It turns out that the United States was not prepared for it and now must play catch-up.

This book presents various topics including Lal Masjid and it's aftermath; closing the Guantanamo detention center; and also with a focus on Afghanistan.
