2. It will end like the First World War ended for Russia.
It will go on and on until the order which created it, and which needs it for its "legitimacy" and control over people, collapses into universally acknowledged illegitimacy and dysfunction.

4. It ends when the United States decides...
...to stop being the biggest exporter of terror on the planet.

7. Thank you
Bugs the crap out of me when people use obscure acronyms that magically everyone is supposed to know what the hell they're talking about.

8. Seriously?
The Global War On Terror was actually the official name for this bullshit under the bush maladministration for quite a few years, and its acronym GWOT is hardly obscure. Or at least I didn't think it was obscure. Sorry about that.

10. The politicians and MIC have found an indestructible bogeyman to endlessly scare us with.
Just like the Romans had "barbarians" we have "terrorists" to fear and pay to keep us "safe" from.

11. The Romans actually had Barbarians and they actually crushed
the Western Empire after about 100 years of nearly continuous assault. On the other hand we appear to have spent around 2T and counting to kill about a dozen actual terrorists and a couple hundred thousand 'collateral damage' victims.

12. When the US Empire is destroyed
Edited on Sat Sep-10-11 10:39 AM by lunatica
Probably another 15 years or so, if not sooner.

Oh! And the destruction will be from within. Corruption will be the cause.
