A key argument of Chace is that much this military involvement stems from a logic of US paranoia in reaction to the Cuban Revolution . A similar argument is put forward by David Keen , political economist and Professor of Complex Emergencies at the London School of Economics . His book '' Endless War ? Hidden Function of the ' War on Terror ' '' ( 2006 ) argues that the United States ' strategies and tactics in the War on Terror use a " militaristic state-cased framework " . This framework , though " counterproductive " , has an " inner logic " and a " psychological function " of responding to the trauma of September 11 attacks
