World War III fears linked to Sept. 11 attacks
The piece argues that the Sept. 11 attacks could spark a global war waged between militants and the United States with broad Muslim world implications. It notes Osama bin Laden's call for a holy war and cautions that a successful Islamist alliance would be devastating, though unlikely as leaders’ interests diverge. It stresses that Bush frames the conflict as terrorism not a clash of civilizations and urges countering rhetoric to prevent wider hostilities.
