"I don't see us still fighting this war in 10 years."

The real war against terrorism will take, IMHO, 5-15 years. The war in Afghanistan is window-dressing.

The real war will be fought in the shadows, by spies and assassins. The typical battle will be one guy stepping out of a shadowed corner and placing a bullet in the brain of another guy.

It will take many years; it will not be easy--and it is us or them.

Oh. Well, I don't think that America will follow through all the way. Maybe it's too big a job even if we had a national will to do it. If 9/11 can't convince everybody, I don't think anything will. Though I don't doubt that terrorists will try their best to get us all against them.
