Abstract
“Terrorism” has become a catchall term for the enemy who challenges U.S. imperialism. Viewed by the likes of George Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolfowitz, terrorism is the activity of terrorists; and terrorists are not us, nor are they like us—terrorists are those who hate “our” freedom/democracy, modernity/secularism, and hard-won success. “Terrorism” has now fully replaced communism as the globe’s scourge. “Our” enemies, the enemies of democracy and freedom, exist everywhere and anywhere. Yet much of the rest of the world thinks that President Bush is more of a threat to the world than Saddam Hussein. (Eisenstein 2004, 8)
