Rethink war on terrorism

A recent US State Department advisory tells its nationals in Europe that Al-Qaida is plotting terrorist attacks. This was followed by terror alerts issued in the United Kingdom and Japan. This means the nine-year war against terrorism has not been successful, and hence Western countries should reflect on their anti-terrorism strategy, says an article in People's Daily. Excerpts:

After Sept 11, 2001, many Western countries, led by the US, have made unprecedented efforts to fight terrorism. The US alone has spent trillions of dollars to fight terrorism.
