Since the war in Iraq has appeared never-ending, the horror vision of constant war at the edge of the prosperous western territories has become fixed. Sometimes this war and its suicide attacks even encroach into the cities of the West. But who is the enemy, how does he function, what do we need to do in order to defend ourselves? On permanent briefing, the last journalists struggle with the last media speakers to find out the truth and maintain their own neutrality. But they have also become combatants. Everyone can be an enemy. Everyone represents the front.
