| Summary/Abstract |
The United States has been at war for more than seven years, and the end to its struggle against religious extremism is nohere in sight.

With the prolonged counterinsurgencies in Afghanistan and Iraq has come a growing realization that more alienated youth could appear on the world's battlefields unless the united States begins to win more descisively the war of ideas.
