War on Terror has cost $650 billion, over 4,000 lives, and civil liberties
Five years after invading Iraq, the U.S. has no plans to withdraw.

Yet the conflict has uncovered no weapons of mass destruction and has succeeded only in radicalizing and augmenting the terrorist threat.
The War on Terror is the most potent threat Americans face to their liberties and security, says Independent Institute Research Fellow Ian S. Lustick in his new policy report, Our Own Strength Against Us. In fact, the first official assessment sponsored by U.S. intelligence agencies and released in 2006, determined that the Iraq War has ultimately exacerbated the problem of terrorism worldwide.
