A war that can never be won

Terrorism is a technique, not an enemy state that can be defeated

The bombast has increased with the bombs. We saw two disturbing
escalations this week. The explosions that devastated the British
consulate and the HSBC bank in Istanbul mark a significant widening in
the choice of targets by those Islamist radicals who use terror to
express their hatred of British and US policy in Iraq and the Middle
East. The Blair/Bush response reached an equally alarming new level of
ferocity.
At their swaggering joint press conference on Thursday, the two men
repeatedly made the risible claim that they could win their war on
terror. The prime minister was the worse. While Bush gave himself a
global carte blanche to intervene anywhere, by speaking of his
"determination to fight and defeat this evil, wherever it is found",
Blair put the issue in terms of a finite goal. He talked of defeating
terrorism "utterly" and "ridding our world of this evil once and for
all".
