Five Years Since 9/11: The War on Terrorism

Monday 11 September 2006

Since 9/11, the United States has won some important victories against Al-Qaeda, but has also suffered some setbacks. America's standing in the world has fallen to dangerously low levels, with the disastrous war in Iraq contributing significantly to this decline, and this state of affairs threatens to undermine our counterterrorism efforts. On the fifth anniversary of the September 11th attacks, Cato looks back at the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
