Introduction : the War on Terror : between World War IV and optical illusion -- 1. Who is the enemy? where is the enemy? -- 2. The Middle East : fragmentation of conflicts and new fault lines -- 3. Iran poised between the nuclear bomb and bombardment -- 4. In the meantime, al-Qaeda--.
Argues that the consequences of the 'war on terror' have artificially conflated conflicts in the Middle East such that they appear to be the expression of 'Muslim anger' against the West. The author seeks to restore the individual logic and dynamics of each of these conflicts, the better to understand the political discontent that sustains them.
