July 11 marks the 1,400th day of the global war on terror (as measured from September 11, 2001). We are now almost exactly half-way between the length of US involvement in World War II (1,346 days) and the length of the American Civil War (1,458 days).
As we saw last week in London, terrorism is still a threat. The leaders of the organization believed to be behind the attacks in London on 7/7/2005, in Madrid on 3/11/2004, and in Washington and New York City on 9/11/2001 are still at large.
