what is the reason for terrorism in Afghanistan
Answers
Answer:
The expression "war on terrorism" is mere1y a figure of speech or a metaphor:
it is not different in principle from the parallel phrases "war on drugs" and "war on poverty." The reason is that the expression "war" is not used in either context as a legal term of art. This is easily grasped by anyone who knows international law. But the trouble with a catchy phrase is that it is apt to catch its users in a net: in time. they (especially if they are laypersons and not international legal experts) tend to believe that the figure of speech which they have coined actually reflects reality.
Metaphors aside, there are two types of war pursuant to international law:
inter-State (international armed conflicts) and intra-State ("civil wars" or non-international armed conflicts). In an international armed conflict, two or more belligerent States are locked in combat with each other. Large numbers of States are currently engaged in the global "war on terrorism.» Yet, the strife qualifies as war in the international legal sense only when hostilities are raging against an enemy State that has joined hands with the terrorists. As we shall see, this is true only in the case of Afghanistan.
