3) I think the main idea of this article is about the challenges presidents face in attempt to control terrorism and prevent war.

NOTES - U.S is always on the watch-out for terrorists. - U.S seems to be a target for several terrorists groups. - War on terrorism is a non-violent war. This is hard to define since there is no actual war. - Bush: "We will stay on the offense against the terrorists, fighting them abroad so we do not have to face them here at home."

C,C,Q's - Seems like a mental war. - Why is the U.S a big target for terrorists. - How can people help in this " War on terror" ? - More like a way of living.

Summary: Americans are advised to carry on their lives but always keep in mind that we could go to war with terrorists at any time. Be prepared.
