Los Angeles Times on 9/11: America’s “war on terror”, which enters its sixth year, now seems destined to redefine our nation for a generation or more to come. The war goes on in Afghanistan, which h1as endured more than 100 suicide bombings this year, including a horrific attack on Monday that killed at least 28 people. It goes on and on in Iraq, where Gen David H Petraeus and US Ambassador Ryan Crocker recommended to Congress on Monday that US troops should stay, albeit in slightly declining numbers, until that fractious nation stabilises. And it appears to be expanding to a third front, an undeclared but worsening conflict with Iran.
