Politics: 30 years of "war on terror"?

30 ans...
That is how long the "war on terror" could last, accordingto a report pubblished monday by the Oxford Research Group: "Into the Long War: Oxford Research Group International Security Report 2006". The research group is an independent non-governmental organisation, a think-tank specialised in global security issues. The report calls for a "complete reassessment of current policies". Nothing new, though, I'd say... and I thiink 30 years might be too optimistic. Its author, Paul Rogers, also Professor of Peace Studies at the University of Bradford, takes a step back from the heat of the moment to provide a concise overview of the international security situation, focussing on the 'war on terror', the related conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the implications of US and UK foreign policy for the majority world.
