I've heard a lot of talk about the 'War on Terror'. What is it and how does it affect me?

The War on Terror is a term used to describe the military actions taken by the United States since September 11, 2001. It refers to the efforts made to defeat terrorism both at home and abroad, including in Afghanistan and Iraq. The war has been controversial due to its high cost in terms of lives lost and money spent, as well as the potential violation of civil liberties.
