The recent focus on Russia’s war against Ukraine and China’s militant move against a perceived threat to the status quo in Taiwan reflected a reality envisioned several years ago in American defense planning - the world has reverted to a game of nations. States and governments, not movements and organizations, operate and interact. This is why the targeted killing of Al-Qaeda leader Ayman a-Zawahiri, in his Kabul apartment, which was less than a safehouse, seemed as a relic from a bygone era. But is that really so, has the campaign against Islamic terror in its various manifestations become a footnote to major headlines, or is it just that public attention has shifted elsewhere and the real war conducted by intelligence agencies and special forces goes on unrelentingly?
