The big one-zero is nearly upon us

Osama bin Laden is dead. The end is near in Iraq. The masses in Arab nations are clamouring for democracy. And, most important, there hasn’t been a major attack on U.S. soil in a decade. But does that mean America won? In the 10 years since Manhattan and Washington were hit by airliners-turned-missiles on Sept. 11, 2001, America’s longest war has notched several victories. But many security experts and former government officials say it’s far from over. They're right. There are still terrorist groups out there, and what's more, 9/11 could have something to do with America's current debt crisis. Defence spending has tripled in the last ten years and is likely to put America further and further in debt as the war drags on. It's time for Obama to end this by bringing the troops home.
