First sentence: In the wake of the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks by Middle Eastern terrorists on September 11, 2001, President Bush and other political leaders were busy preparing the nation for a long and forthcoming war on international terrorism: A war expected to last some 5 to 10 years, well after the hoped for "dead or alive" capture of Saudi extremist Osama bin Laden.
