Can the War on Terrorism Be Won? Edited by David Haugen and Susan Musser. Detroit, Mich.: Greenhaven Press Thomson Gale, 2007. 1 vol. 109 p. $28.70. ISBN 10: 0-7377-1973-7; 13: 978-0-7377-1973-4.

Two responses to this question come from President George W. Bush, who believes "Progress in the War on Terror Has Made America Safer" and Prime Minister Tony Blair, who suggests "The West Must Prove Its Values Are Stronger than Those of Radical Islam." Other articles cover "America and Its Allies Are Making Progress Against Terrorism in Afghanistan," "The U.N. is Helping Win the War Against Terrorism," "America Must Rethink the Motivations for Islamic Terrorism" and "Detention of Prisoners at Guantanamo Bay Undermines the War on Terror," from USA Today. This offers a good starting point for current events topics that students should be addressing.
