Losing the War on Terrorism

By j7uy5 on July 9, 2006.

Foreign Policy magazine has an article ( href="http://web1.foreignpolicy.com/issue_julyaug_2006/TI-index/index.html">The
Terrorism Index) about the Global and Perpetual War
on Terrorism.  It is a compilation and analysis of the results
of a survey of 117 experts on foregin policy and terrorism.
 The main finding is that 86% of the experts agree that we are
losing the war on terrorism.  



It is remarkable that there is such strong agreement among experts on
this topic.  Given the strength of their findings, and the
popularity of the topic, you might think that the article would gain
widespread attention.



Instead, it has barely made a ripple.

Usually the LA Times does not print things this awful.  Usually these things don't bother me so much.  The problem is not just that the author is wrong, or that he develops his argument poorly -- although both are true.  What bothers me is the pointlessly malicious tone of the piece. href="http…
