"We are losing."
Posted by Heather Hurlburt
"We are losing. Four years and two wars after September 11, 2001, the United States is no closer to victory in the 'war on terror.' In fact, we are unwittingly clearing the way for the next attack."
So opens the new book by my old colleagues Dan Benjamin and Steve Simon, The Next Attack: The Failure of the War on Terror and a Strategy for Getting It Right. (They're the guys who brought you The Age of Sacred Terror a couple years back.)
You can check out their argument -- and poke holes in it, if you like -- tomorrow, when Dan Benjamin will hold forth live at 5pm EST on Monday, December 5 over at Campusprogress.org.** I haven't read this one yet, but anybody who's not afraid to come out and say that we aren't winning deserves attention. In addition to being a leading terror wonk, Dan is a former reporter AND fellow recovering speechwriter, which means his books are if not enjoyable (given the subject) at least highly readable.
But don't take my word for it -- check Dan out tomorrow.
**and yes, Campus Progress is, like Democracy Arsenal, an initiative of/with the Center for American Progress. If you like us, you'll love Campus Progress. If you love to argue with us, you'll love arguing with Dan in real time.

Terrific! Basically I don't have much time for a whole boring helpless article, but I love the information and the styles you wrote, they drove me to read the whole story.

No one can succeed without any hard work. Karl Max was successful, because he spent more than 30 years writing the book "Communist Manifesto"; Tomas Edison succeeded, because he had experimented thousands of times to find the best material for lights. Every success calls for hard work. If you want to suc-ceed, work hard first.zhongchengmaoyi110post

mean I just read through the entire article of yours and it was quite good but since I'm more of a visual learner,I found that to be more helpful.
