I wish I knew when the post-war period might be. There doesn't seem to be any specific end point to the war on terror. At any time we could say "OK, we're done".
I think that a lot of people would consider that a necessaryı condition for declaring the war on terror ended would be the equivalent of an unconditional surrender on the part of the Middle Eastern Islamic fundamentalist terrorists, including no more terrorist attacks anywhere on anyone and recognizing the right of Israel to exist and the Jews to live.
Or this could go on for 100 years!
How many hundreds has it already lasted? (Tens, at least . . . )
_____
ıThough perhaps not a sufficient condition if one considers other nations (e.g., North Korea) terrorist nations.
