Clausewitz versus terrorism : eradicating the threat of Al Qaeda using the Remarkable Trinity and Centre of Gravity concepts.

Abstract

This paper advocates that in the war on terrorism, there will be no quick fixes or magically conjured solutions to such complex and longstanding problems. A comprehensive approach with a cohesive strategy will still require time, resources and most of all political will and patience. Moreover, the struggle against terrorism is never-ending, our search for solutions and new approaches must thus be continuous and unyielding.
