Check out this commentary from Mark Danner titled "Taking stock of the war on terror" over on Salon.com. He pretty much hits the nail on the head, pointing out that the war in Iraq has actually done more damage than good in trying to address the global and domestic threat of terrorism. Chalk up another win for the Bush administration (terrorize Americans? check. drive the expansion of global jihadism? check. roll back civil liberties? check. violate and undermine the Constitution and American and international law? check. violate human rights? check. illegally suspend habeas corpus? check. turn the world uniformly against us? check.).
