ON THE WAR'S TRAPS
Journal Title: Impact Strategic - Year 2006, Vol 21, Issue 4
Abstract
Nowadays conflicts are seldom consequnces of certain military realities. Generated by political, economical, social, ethnical, territorial, religious, etc., sources, or, as in most of the cases, by their combinations, they are followed-up by confrontations where solutions are looked for by armed violence. Seldom wars and military conflicts end the way intended by their initiators. Wars are nonlinear, because results are not either proportional to the inputs or equal to the sum of its compounds. Wars are just as nonlinear as politics. They have the capacity to adapt to modifications, chances, uncertainties generated by the nonlinearity that, in its turn, generates synergy, innovation, changes and continuity. All of them are turned into concrete forms by traps, planned or not, wished or accidental, minor or dramatically ended. Within these traps there is a little attention paid to the potential differences, even the astonishing ones. Traps have their own rules. We guess them in the wars developped in the last years: Chechenya and Iraq, Afghanistan and the Middle East and in all the others less presented by media.
