Should the War on Terror End?

The Takeaway

On September 11, 2001, terrorists hijacked four planes, flying two into the Wold Trade Center towers and one into the Pentagon. The day will forever be known simply as 9/11. Ten years later, America has become involved in two overseas wars, the assassination of Osama bin Laden, and the spread of revolution through the Arab world. Is it time to finally end the “War on Terror”? Peter Brookes, a former deputy assistant secretary of defense during the Bush administration, and senior fellow for National Security Affairs at the Heritage Foundation, and  Katrina vanden Heuvel, The Nation’s  editor and publisher, debate whether it’s time to end the War on Terror.
