Article Abstract:
The way a historical perspective may affect views of the 'war on terror' must begin by acknowledging that this extraordinary 'war' is unique in having achieved something. It is suggested that the international campaign against terrorism requires a more realistic vision of how terrorist campaigns end than the simple picture of the elimination or incarceration of terrorists.
