What Has The Amercian-led War On Terror Achieved? Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Well there's certainly been no major terrorist attack in the West since September 11th 2001.

Congratulations. That is a great achievement.

Put an end to popups!

It's hard to see when things works out and there are successes.. because then everything is ok and normal. You only see it when something goes wrong. So I'd say every day is a victory against terrorism when there is no significant strike. Every day, when terrorists gets arrested/shot is a day of victory. Every day, when we get more information about new terrorist plans, movements, trails, anything.. it's a day of victory.
Every day when terrorists are the ones having to have to look behind their shoulders, is a day of victory.

Terrorism is not going to go away, never ever. It will be always with us. The question just is if they are succesfull in their business, or do we manage to keep them down. I'd say the war has been pretty damn succesful and FULL of victories.

Gosh. You think?
And why do you single me out??
What's your problem with Drake?
So, because terrorism isn't wiped out universally, we shouldn't be grateful for the lull Park Avenue brings up?

Sorry. I think I'll continue to celebrate.

Ask the question in 10 years time and the effects might then be clear enough to give a meaningful answer.

That's your opinion, and one you've a right to.
That doesn't mean you're right, it just means you have the right.
Don't like Bush or Blair? Vote.
As far as freedoms lost, what freedoms?
Because you can't waltz in and out of airports?
Even assuming that's a right, you blame Bush and Blair?
Jackass.

I think that the most significant event is that the spread of WoMD has been endorsed, and that one or two oppressive, terrorism supporting countries have been replaced by one or two others.

(Afghanistan and (to a lesser extend) Iraq, vs Pakistan and (to a lesser extend) China)

Doesn't bode very well...
