TP, perhaps Peter Bergen can explain it better than I can. From the link I provided to Ted: discuss.washingtonpost.com Harlingen, Tex.: Terrorism is certainly a serious danger, and has been for many years. But is our response to it really a "war" in other than a rhetorical sense? If we are engaged in such a war, when will we know when it is at an end, and what are the limits of executive power while it's in progress? Peter L. Bergen: The war on terrorism is clearly a metaphorical war -- the military component is essentially over. In fact, it would be more usefully described as a war on terrorists, really. And so when can we declare victory? I think when we're no longer having these online discussions. When it's no longer at the forefront of our consciousness. Terrorism's been around in its modern form since the '60s and '70s, and it's not going to go away. It's a problem that can be managed -- once we can manage it, then we can declare a sort of victory.
