It is not unusual that there is more fighting going on during the war than before the war was started, or after a war is finished. I dare say more Americans were being killed in combat, and more civilians were dying from miltary actions, in 1943 than they were in either 1933 or 1953.
It's a war. It dates back beyond September 11th of 2001, but that's when America finally realized it was a war.
What is the alternative? Do you subscribe to the fantasy that if America just stayed home and minded its own business, that the terrorists would all have taken up knitting? That if we just sat down with those who blow up schoolkids, that a "reasonable compromise" could be worked out?
The only way this war can be "lost" is if we surrender.
BTW, the "discovery" that the terror threat is operating on a more decentralized format is about a year old.
