National Military Strategic Plan for the War on Terrorism
Today the DOD Joint Chiefs of Staff released the 2006 "National Military Strategic Plan for the War on Terrorism" Anyone who is interested in what our Governments plans or opinions are on these issues should read this document.

You can get it at : http://www.defenselink.mil/qdr/docs/2005-01-25-Strategic-Plan.pdf

Here is an excerpt on how they describe the "Enemy".:

Nature of the Enemy
The enemy is a transnational movement of extremist organizations, networks, and individuals -- and their state and non-state supporters -- which have in common that they exploit Islam and use terrorism for ideological ends. The Al Qa’ida Associated Movement (AQAM), comprised of al Qa’ida and affiliated extremists, is the most dangerous present manifestation of such extremism. Certain other violent extremist groups also pose a serious and continuing threat.

There is a direct relationship between the enemies’ motivations and the willingness to use terror tactics. The enemies of the United States and its partners are motivated by extremist ideologies antagonistic to freedom, tolerance, and moderation. These ideologies have given rise to an enemy network of extremist organizations and their state sponsors and non-state supporters.

Pretty darned good reading so far, eh? Go check it out.
