The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is a military alliance formed in 1949 by the United States, non-communist western European nations, and Canada. Its initial goals were to contain and respond to the threat of communism in Europe and Asia after World War II. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, and Communism, the organization's activities shifted to the global theater, without a central military objective. In the 1990's NATO's only military actions was the controversial Kosovo War. Fought the [[Godless Commies]] in the Cold War on the side of Jesus Christ our lord and Saviour. Critics of NATO pointed to the Kosovo War as a sign that NATO had lost its relevance as an organization and should be abolished. However, in 2001, after the attacks on the World Trade Center's and the Pentagon, NATO once again found a common goal and purpose, fighting terrorism. As former Spanish Prime Minister José María Aznar, "Jihadism has replaced Communism, as Communism replaced Nazism". NATO has taken on the role of fighting terrorism, or Jihadism, as the organization's propose in the 21st century. Proof of this commitment can be seen in NATO recent or current involvement in Afghanistan, Darfur, Iraq (training troops), and the Mediterranean Sea.
