SOBRAN ON THE TERROR WAR SCAM

We've been singing a similar song here for the last two years, but this is well put:
Has the war, with all the additional measures taken at home, deterred terrorism? Or has it just inspired more determination on the other side?

We can't really know. Maybe the answer is both: maybe some acts of terrorism have been prevented and discouraged, but others have merely been provoked. But the response of Bush and Blair implies a sweeping certainty nobody can have. When there is a lull in terrorism, it shows that the war is succeeding; when it erupts again, that shows the need to continue the war. What would it take to convince these men that their policy is failing?
