ABSTRACT:
11 pages in length. Battling against an invisible enemy calls into question whether any means of retaliation is deemed acceptable even when some are outside customary boundaries. For the Bush administration, there appeared to be few - if any - limits to the approach taken against terrorism since 911; because of what many believe to be a breach of constitutional rights for the alleged betterment of common good, the question now becomes whether global communities will be forced into similar situations in the attempt to forestall what has indeed become the preeminent international security issue of today. Clearly, little can be done to anticipate terrorist attacks besides speculation, which keeps entire nations in a constant state of heightened alert both collectively and on an individual basis as people struggle to push away thoughts of potentially being only moments away from another strike. Because the ongoing threat of terrorism is still so palpable more than seven years after the World Trade Center, governments are left with little else to do in the attempts to protect their citizens than to engage in crises of authority much the same way Bush has.
