The current struggle under the general rubric of "global war on terrorism" does not enjoy the conceptual or perceptual clarity of the Cold War era: US President George W Bush has wrapped himself in the slogans of liberty and depicts himself as a fighter against tyranny, while Iraq's "terrorist-in-chief", Musab al-Zarqawi, makes a point of describing the US as a tyrant. Both can't be right.
