Victor Davis Hanson returns to

Victor Davis Hanson returns to first principles in articulating the case for the war on terrorism through a series of questions and answers in National Review Online. To the question of whether we are winning, Hanson answers that “it is not even close so far.” With fewer than 100 casualties among American soldiers, Al Qaeda is “about half ruined,” the Taliban is gone, Iraq is terrified, and Syria, Libya, and Iran are apprehensive. If we keep our nerve, Hanson says, we will prevail.
