The War on Terror

650 significant terrorist attacks took place worldwide in 2004. That's a 272% increase from the 175 major attacks in 2003, which had been a 20-year high.

Are the war in Iraq and other administration policies responsible for this sharp rise in terrorist incidents? From what I can gather, not entirely. Still, especially in the wake of what happened in London this morning, I think it's time to question the efficacy of the War on Terror.

The bloodiest month for the US in WWII was April, 1945. Would that have been a good time to throw in the towel?

We should not be surprised that in wartime, fighting occurs. This statistic is not a usable tool for making such a conclusion.
