9/11: Yesterday and tomorrow; How we could lose the war on terror
Abstract
The war on terror has become a global intifada, but despite our all- out commitment we're not much safer than before 9-11. As the conflict enters its third year, the greatest threat is that our failure to cripple al Qaeda and its allies will inspire the rise of even more terror networks. The dark, looming specter is the possibility that 10 years from now, there will be 10 al Qaedas -- fanatical, highly organized and well disciplined terror networks, some of them in secret service to rogue (or maybe not-so-roguish) nations that really do possess weapons of mass destruction.
