Unfortunately true!

The other truth may be that there is no way anyone can "win the war on terror", hence it becomes a permanent cash register and one that costs more lives on both "sides".

Ya can't "win" against people who are ready to die and eg. blow themselves up. Convincing them there is more to live for may be more constructive.
