The War on Terror's Unseen Consequences The 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks has reignited debate about the effectiveness of the War on Terror.
While some, like The Washington Post and Wall Street Journal, argue that the US response successfully protected the country from similar attacks in subsequent years, others, including Le Monde, suggest that Osama Bin Laden's strategy was to lure America into long wars.
The contrast between these views highlights a fundamental issue with the War on Terror: its consequences. The war has left deep scars not only on the countries affected but also on the US itself.
