	The Scorecard: We're winning the war against terror
		This war was also initiated after a surprise attack on American soil, one that directly targeted civilian men, women, and children — not soldiers or sailors — and produced a greater number of American casualties than Pearl Harbor.
		They claim that one of the reasons President Bush is planning to invade Iraq is because the current war against terrorism is not going as well as planned.
		In this war, our forces have been tasked with rooting out a motley collection of rats from one end of the globe to the next: far more difficult than prosecuting a campaign against a uniformed, disciplined enemy in the open.

		Clark Staten, Senior Analyst and CEO of ERRI, says that successes in the U.S.-led war on terrorism played a significant role in breaking up the Al-Qaeda network, but warned that the major terrorist organizations were now reorganizing and adapting to the current world climate.
		Terrorism involving al-Qaeda and weapons of mass destruction remains among the paramount global threats, the team said in a report.

	Acts of Terror or Acts of War?
		Nevertheless, whether it is one madman, a dozen insurgents, or a government, we can separate an act of terrorism from a military act of war by checking on the target of violence and the efforts made to avoid noncombatant casualties.
		The murder of British soldiers on duty in Northern Ireland is an act of war; the bombing of a crowded bar where civilians are sure to get hurt is an act of terror.
		The suicide bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Lebanon is an act of war; the highjacking of a TWA flight is an act of terror.

	Articles - Bomb
		Strategic bombing of civilian targets is controversial and considered a war crime by some and a defining characteristic of terrorism by others, see terror bombing.
		During World War II there were instances where civilian targets had been bombedâ€”first, during the German invasion of Poland in 1939 and the Netherlands (Rotterdam), then following The Blitz directed at London and other British cities and the British bombing of German cities such as Dresden.
		This campaign culminated in the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki with atomic weapons, which would play a major part in ending the war.

	Civilian Victims of United States' Aerial Bombing of Afghanistan
		Thirdly, the U.S. mainstream corporate media has been derelict in its non-reporting of civilian casualties when ample evidence existed from foreign places that the U.S. air war upon Afghanistan was creating such casualties in large numbers.
		Bibi is one of the thousands of innocent people who have been forced to flee their homes as the bombing of Taliban targets continues in the "war against terrorism".
		Civilian casualty figures for the Iraq and Yugoslav wars vary enormously depending upon sources, e.g., from 300 to 1,200 in Yugoslavia and 3,000 in Iraq.

	2003 News of the Nation
		In the war against terrorism—and Bush had controversially identified Iraq as the next target in that battle—the United States could no longer stand by while a potential threat to its security grew into an actual one.
		With his most compelling argument for war still unsubstantiated, Bush emphasized other rationales: Hussein's brutal repression and human rights record, and Iraq as “the central front” in the war against terrorism.
		A number of supporters of the war argued that murky or flawed pre-war rationales do not undermine the enormous good achieved by the war.

	Russia's language of terror in Chechnya -DAWN - International; 12 December, 2004
		The scale of civilian casualties far exceeds the Serbian war against Kosovo and is comparable to the level of killing in Bosnia, yet it is largely ignored by the international community.
		Though initiated by Moscow as a war against terrorism, this campaign has only encouraged the evolution and spread of massive violence.
		The Kremlin claims that the Chechen resistance is integrated into a global terrorist network, and it places responsibility for every act of terrorism on Al Qaeda.

	FactsOfIsrael.com: The Unique Cowardice of Palestinian Terrorism
		And while Palestinian propaganda, funded heavily from Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Iraq, always seeks to suggest equivalence between Arab terror and Israeli counterterror, there is a longstanding and meaningful difference between premeditated murder and unintentional casualties of essential self-defense against murder.
		The fact that Palestinians have been allowed to wage a propaganda and misinformation war, and a terrorist war, demonstrates how imprudent the Israelis really are.
		Several weeks ago, when a Palestinian terrorist machine gunned two Jewish infants still sucking on pacifiers (after stabbing the mother), the image of the murdered children was a source of feverish exaltation throughout the Palestinian communities in Jenin, Ramallah and Gaza.

	The New Yorker: Fact
		The turmoil in Afghanistan has become a political issue for the Bush Administration, whose general conduct of the war on terrorism is being publicly challenged by Richard A. Clarke, the former National Security Council terrorism adviser, in a memoir, “Against All Enemies,” and in contentious hearings before the September 11th Commission.
		Rothstein wrote that Rumsfeld routinely responded to criticism about civilian casualties by stating that “some amount” of collateral damage “is inevitable in war.” It is estimated that more than a thousand Afghan civilians were killed by bombing and other means in the early stages of the war.
		Clarke and some of his colleagues, he said, had repeatedly warned the national-security leadership that, as he put it, “you can’t win the war in Afghanistan with such a small effort.” Clarke continued, “There were more cops in New York City than soldiers on the ground in Afghanistan.

	ISRAEL
		Israel Shamir also compares the Israeli treatment of the Palestinians in Intifada II unfavorably to the anti-Jewish pogroms in Czarist Russia, where the casualties were much smaller and where, after the pogrom, "all writers and intelligentsia condemned the perpetrators.
		Israel has so far killed about 400 Palestinians, injured thousands, and escalated the brutality of its army's repression in the occupied territories in a genuine anti-civilian war, preventing Palestinians from working, harvesting crops, and obtaining medical care.
		The settlements have been made in territory outside of Israel, technically "occupied" by Israel and subject to international law that clearly prohibits dispossession and settlement by the "belligerent occupying power" (the Palestinians are "protected persons" under the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949; violations of that Convention, including dispossession and settlements, are "war crimes").

	US War Dead in Iraq Exceeds Early Vietnam Years
		Larger still is the number of American casualties from the broader U.S. war on terrorism, which has produced 488 military deaths in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Philippines, Southwest Asia and other locations.
		In another comparison, British forces that created Iraq in the aftermath of World War One suffered 2,000 casualties from tribal reprisals, guerrilla attacks and a jihad proclaimed from the Shi'ite holy city of Kerbala, before conditions stabilized in 1921, according to U.S. military scholars.
		However, the Army's start date for the Vietnam War has been set by its Center of Military History as Dec. 11, 1961, when two helicopter companies consisting of 32 aircraft and 400 soldiers arrived in the country, an Army public affairs specialist said.

	United States invasion of Afghanistan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The United States invasion of Afghanistan occurred in October 2001, in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, marking the beginning of its "War on Terrorism" campaign.
		The coalition casualties stemmed from a friendly fire incident that killed one soldier, the downing of two helicopters by rocket-propelled grenades and small arms fire that killed seven soldiers, and the pinning down of U.S. forces being inserted into what was coined as "Objective Ginger" that resulted in dozens of wounded.
		It is estimated that in Afghanistan there are 1.5 million suffering from immediate starvation, as well as 7.5 million suffering as a result of the country's dire situation - the combination of civil war, drought-related famine, and, to a large extent, the Taliban's oppressive regime and the U.S.-led invasion.

	U.S. government response to the September 11, 2001 attacks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The United States has made it clear that this "War on Terrorism" will continue after dealing with whoever is responsible for the September 11 attack, but it is very unclear exactly what that means.
		The United States government has announced its intentions to engage in a protracted war against terrorists and states which aid terrorists in response to the attacks.
		There have been reports that U.S. and British special-forces soldiers were covertly landed in Afghanistan at some time after September 11, presumably for reconnaissance purposes, and that several of these troops were captured by the Taliban.

	Postwar? Or Guerrilla War?
		However, the steady stream of American and Iraqi casualties, the increasingly sophisticated guerrilla attacks on Iraqi infrastructure--and, now, the UN headquarters--suggest that the Iraq war continues, and that only its conventional battlefield phase is over.
		We are now witnessing the tragic unfolding of consequences that The Nation--and millions opposed to war--warned against: the fueling of anti-Americanism in the Islamic world; the undermining of the global fight against terrorism and the deaths of innocent US soldiers and Iraqi civilians.
		As Phyllis Bennis, a fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies, reminds, "The US-UK war and occupation were and remain illegal." By agreeing to participate under the authority of that occupation force, the UN, unfortunately, is providing a political fig leaf for an illegal occupation.

		Terrorism is the means by which our enemy chooses to wage war against us, but we should not confuse its tactics with the nature of the enemy itself.
		Indeed, the moderate Islamic nations are on the front lines of this war and have been among its first casualties, starting with the Iranian revolution in 1979.
		Make war on them: God will chastise them at your hands and humble them." The Koran is filled with elaborate instructions on the conduct of war, the methods of executing the infidels, the rewards that will accrue to those martyred in a holy war.

	World War III - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term World War III has been used by Project for the New American Century (PNAC) to describe the Cold War of the 20th century, while the War on Terror, including the Iraq military conflict, is referred to as World War IV.
		Some historians have suggested that the War on Terrorism, in retaliation to the September 11, 2001 attacks, may become known by future generations as the third of the world wars due to its global impact and the number of countries involved.
		If this confrontation had escalated into full-scale war, it was widely thought that the conflict would become "World War III", and that the end result would be the destruction of most life on Earth, an extermination of human life or, at the very least, the partial collapse of civilization, with total casualties over 500,000,000.

		Counter- terrorism officials have long feared that a solitary terrorist with an automatic weapon or one committed to a suicide bombing could inflict heavy casualties in the United States.
		The Times said in its report that analysts regard the new taped message believed to be from the fugitive Usama bin Laden as a summons to his followers, and perhaps to new sympathizers, to conduct actions against the American targets in response to the possible war in Iraq.
		Eric Davis, a terrorism expert at Rutgers University, explained his theory that al-Qaeda "is a classic cell organization that is very decentralized worldwide, and that leads to a lot of confusion and uncertainty about their scope.

		Just as we recently witnessed a lawyer overruling the general to avoid killing the commander of the Taliban, General Clark's war was dominated by lawyers, a fear of casualties, and micro-management, from Washington, of his use of every weapons system normally left to the discretion of the field commander.
		As things now stand, we will lose the war on terrorism over time because of the perennial flaws in our system that this book identifies.
		Most of the technologies we had been promoting since the Gulf War were still immature, unable to deal with the vagaries of weather, vegetation, and urban areas, or the limitations of bandwidth and airspace.

		In an insurgency-cum-terrorism affected situation, captured suspects are generally an important source of preventive intelligence, but apparently, despite such claimed captures, the US intelligence continues to grope in the dark about the plans and the preparations of the terrorists and resistance fighters.

		This may impact negatively on the war against terrorism and on the effort to stem the growth of terrorist organizations and the spread of extremist ideologies.
		The casualties incurred during the 2003 war certainly do not compare with those experienced in some of the protracted conflicts of the past 25 years, such as the 10-year anti-Soviet war in Afghanistan or the eight-year Iran-Iraq war.
