We're winning in the sense that we are killing lots of terrorists, but at the same time the terrorists are winning in the sense that they are making us terrified.
It's a win-win situation. Seriously though, a "war" on terrorism is really stupid. Whenever a rebel group attacks a country, the country should NEVER give legitimacy to the rebel group by declaring war on it. By declaring war, we are recognizing "terrorism" as a legitimate entity, which emboldens them because it proves that we are becoming more fearful as a society. After all, that is their goal ... hence terrorist. |
