I can't imagine what you think is going well right now in the world of terrorism.

While the fundamental difference is that you're an extremist liberal and I'm more moderate, there is a specific difference in perspective between us. I look at the long-term trend. You look at where we are instantaneously.

My view is that the war on terror will take several years, and you can't discern useful information by looking at a given month or even a given few months. There will be ups and downs, but it is clear that the overall trend is positive. Iraq is moving toward its own government and its own security. It takes a little time, that's what matters.

As to the war on terror, you say "we have terrorist incidents" but WE really don't. WE haven't had one in the United States in 3 years. I'm good with that.

Sure, Iraq is a dangerous place. Sure, terrorists are going to attack where they see weakness (Spain) because they can't hit us here. But these are simply signs that the war on terror is working.
