Posted by Kendall Harmon

...the once ubiquitous phrase "war on terror" is not much heard these days and is not much missed. Meanwhile, the fight against terrorists has not stopped. Drones patrol the skies above countries such as Yemen, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

America has changed, but America has regained its equilibrium -- itself a proof the terrorists did not win. They never will win.

Read it all.
