The latest news is that Senate Majority Leader Frist was in Afghanistan on Monday and said that it's time to officially hand that country back to the Taliban; integrate them into the elected government. Today, Senator John Warner, the head of the Armed Services Committee came back from another trip to Iraq to say that it's looking like a lost cause there too. I think the plan is to abandon both countries, but the Republicans want to begin announcing this themselves. Otherwise, it may seem that the Democrats forced these decisions.

Many British and European politicians have already declared that War on terrorism is fake and is created to accommodate the American Agenda in the Middle East.You be the Judge Whether it can be won or not .

The more advanced countries just invent their own terror and then identify it where they want it to be, so they can then attack to achieve their agendas.
You cant fight terror it is an idea "the war on terror" is just buzz words to keep the sheeples happy at home and not thinking too much.

Most terrorism is conducted by the secret services, primarily CIA/MI6/Mossad/ISI, who between them are responsible for 9/11, 7/7, Madrid train bombing, Bali bombing, Mumbai train bombing, Lockerbie air disaster, and loads more.
The way to eradicate terrororism would therefore be to dispose of the secret services.

no. not as long as it is fought by invading and occupying independent countries which have nothing to do with terrorism until that point.
the ideas of bin laden were outdated until Bush gave them credibility by targetting a muslim country with no relation to anything that had happened in regard to terrorism. now, US foreign policy is terrorism's biggest and most successful recruiting sergeant.
the way to "win" such a war is to foster social justice on a global scale. in foreign policy terms, that means brokering a just peace in palestine/israel and supporting true democracy around the world rather than just supporting any son of a b+tch as long as he's your son of a b+tch.

completely impossible - you can't declare war on a tactic. terrorism will always be there, what we need to be doing is trying to stop the feelings of hopelessness that create terrorists. we'll never stop it completely, but violence is only going to create more hopeless people that are willing to kill innocent people just to make a point.

the simple answer is NO!
You can't have a war with an abstract noun, no matter how it is reified.
The whole point of terrorism is the perceived potential threat.

no because the "war on terrorism" is against you ... its a psychological war against populations to get them to back any policy or agenda the govts decide to have .. think about it.

Yes it can.
Similar wars were fought before- against pirates and against anarchist terror.
Both were won. No reason why this one cannot be.

No terrorist cells are like starfish, cut one leg off and it will grow an entire body. This is what we are experiencing with Al Queda.
