"It would appear that 9-11 christened a new network: the military-industrial-
media-entertainment network (MIME-NET). If Vietnam was a war waged in the living-rooms of America, the first and most likely the last battles of the counter/terror war are going to be waged on global networks that reach much more widely and deeply into our everyday lives."

--James Der Derian, "9.11: Before, After, and In Between"

"In the new wars, mobilising people is the aim of the war effort; the point of the violence is not so much directed against the enemy; rather the aim is to expand the networks of extremism."

--Mary Kaldor, "Beyond Militarism, Arms Races and Arms Control"
