Overview
The United States's War on Terror (2001-), also known as The War on Terrorism, is an example of an endless crisis. It is also a misnomer or at least a misleading use of the word "war", as it can easily be used to make arguments which would be appropriate if the United States were itself under attack and was defending its homeland from possible invasion.
