The terror wars are the most alarming because it has also militarized our police, created a lower bar for our justice system or two justice systems, created secret courts, attacked our Constitution with the Patriot Act, abolished privacy, and the cost is more than all other wars combined.
In the end, every war since WWII, where the world was decimated and we got the advantage of rebuilding, has left the country in a worse economic condition than the last. Every single war creates a sideways market and has created more imbalance.
We now have the possibility of losing the people internally and that is typically how all empires fall, from within due to overextended wars and lack of spending internally.
You could also throw in the War on Drugs as another war not recognized by this but that is the war that has taken the most of our freedoms since the War on Terror. Overriding the justice system to force moralistic laws, taking freedoms from individuals on a grand scale, general warrants that we crossed the ocean to get away from. There may be an end to the War on Drugs in some ways soon, but the War on Terror seems to have no end or way to end it until it has broken the US internally.
If 'terrorists hate our freedoms' then why are our lawmakers taking away our rights?
