Needed: A Comprehensive History of the War on Terror
Stephen B. Young
In the Wall Street Journal of April 17* Jonathan Burks, former Chief of Staff to Paul Ryan, former Speaker of the House of Representatives, called for the Congress to charter a commission to write a comprehensive history of the War on Terror. This would be the first step in a comprehensive review of U.S. counterterrorism strategy.
Burks wants the American people to take stock of how our country “has conducted itself in a war that is still not won (or lost).â€
Such a study is needed indeed, at least out of respect for the truth that, sometimes, war is too important to be left only to the generals.
