There has been no decrease in the incidence of terrorist attacks on non-U.S. soil. And there's been precisely one less foreign terrorist attack on U.S. soil after 9/11 as there was before. Where's the measure of sucess or even progress?
The attacks I mention were against Americans on foreign soil. Do they not count because they occured on foreign soil?
And Stewartism or not, the absurdity of declaring war on a particular tactic should be self-evident. There can never be victory against a tactic.

What's the difference between "terrorism" and "guerilla"? Guerilla movements have been put down in the past, this one will be put down as well. As you mention the War on Drugs and the War on Poverty, I think it's safe to say we're talking semantics.
