America's First War On Terror...

America's First War On Terror: "The first time the American flag flew over foreign soil taken in battle came in a war against international terrorists. Unlike today's brigands, they were not driven by ideology or religion, but by a baser and perhaps more honest lust: gold. But terrorists they were, and our war against them was fought long and hard, in somewhat unconventional but still very real ways. And it was long before all of us were born... They were known as the Barbary pirates."
