Summary / Abstract (Note) | In the20yearssince the 9/11 attack, U.S. counterterrorism policy has achieved some striking successes and suered some horri¼c failures.On the positive side, jihadi organizations such as al Qaeda and the Islamic State (also known as ISIS) are now shadows of their former selves, and the United States has avoided another catastrophic, 9/11-scale attack.Theworst fears, or eventhe more modest ones, of U.S. counterterrorism ocials have not been realized. With terrorism less of an immediate concern, U.S. President Joe Biden has turned Washington’s focus toward China, climate change, and other issues—even withdrawing U.S. troops from Afghanistan as part of an eort to end the so-called forever wars. |
