The country's fightback against al-Qaeda this past decade has been both relentless and, in many ways, successful. Even before its SEALs killed Osama bin Laden in May, America had eviscerated his organisation. That said, an Osama bin Laden conducting a posthumous review of the past decade would have cause to feel satisfied. Although he did not create the caliphate he dreamed of, one of his main declared aims was to draw America into bleeding wars in the Muslim lands, and in this he most cruelly succeeded. The Brown project puts the wars' ultimate cost, including interest payments and veterans' care, to the United States at up to $4 trillion--equivalent to the country's cumulative budget deficits for the six years from 2005 to 2010. America has precious little to show for this sacrifice apart from the disruption of al-Qaeda. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
