Three months ago, I was lucky enough to have a conversation on terrorism with Georgetown Professor Bruce Hoffman, who has studied “terrorism and insurgency for almost half a century.“
I asked the person who literally wrote the book on the subject whether we should consider the war on terror over. Hoffman cautioned against “declaring victory too soon” and quoted General James Mattis, noting that “the enemy gets a vote too.”
The question about the end of the war on terror was popular then.
