＊すでに、幾つかの戦闘地域では国の正規軍が戦闘に参加している。米軍のISIS空爆、
ナイジェリア国軍のボコ・ハラムとの戦闘、仏蘭西のマリなどへの介入・・・
There are now several parts of the world where regular armies are battling
jihadi groups for control of territory. American and European air-forces are
bombing Isis. The Nigerian army, aided by troops from Chad and Niger, is
fighting Boko Haram ? albeit not very effectively. The French army deployed
in Mali to beat back a jihadi threat. The Pakistanis, goaded by the attacks
on Peshawar, have renewed military action against the Taliban.
＊此の問題の解決には時間がかかる。最終的には思想の戦いであるにせよ短期的には
地域の安定化のために軍事的対応が必要となる。テロとの戦いは終わっているわけで
はない。
Solving the problem of jihadi violence, over the long-run, will be more about
the battle of ideas than a battle of armies. But, in the meantime, there are
military campaigns against Islamist movements under way in Africa, Asia and
the Middle East. It turns out there may be a “war on terror”, after all.
