Abstract
Shortly after 9/11, President Bush announced that “we do not fight Islam, we fight against evil.” The defeat of communism had left an ideological void and only through the events of 9/11 would a new ideological war be possible. The global ‘war on terror’ provided just this, an open-ended conflict for which to carry out a twenty-first century civilising mission.
