Editorial: La Vanguardia

• The 21st century has turned out to be very different from what was expected in the year 2000, particularly in political terms.
• The terrorist attack on September 11, 2001 abruptly changed the global landscape.
• The United States responded by invading Afghanistan and ending Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq.
• Guantanamo prison, established in response to the threat of Al Qaeda, continues to operate and maintains a military judicial system.
• Democratic presidents have failed to fulfill the commitment to close the prison due to legal and political obstacles.

Conclusion: The persistence of Guantanamo is reminiscent of the mistakes, confusion, and complexity that has characterized the 21st century and the fight against terrorism.
