Victory might mean a drop in ' the number of terror attacks, or a drop in the death tolls they inflict. But almost no one foresees a complete end to terror tactics that have succeeded in getting attention for Islamic extremists and others. Witness the Middle East, for example. President Bush ignited a continuing controversy early this week by saying he doesnt think the war is winnable; then he reversed himself, saying flatly that it is. The truth is probably more nuanced, say experts on the military, Islam and international issues. war is being won, four in 10 saying that it isnt and the rest km, a defense analyst for the d Brookings Instiliberal-oriente- tutions, which operates as a sort of kyakjpposition commentator here when Republicans hold the White House.

That will require protecting the homeland, crushing the current generation of and it's sympathizers and stemming the rise of new generations of Islamic radicals, analysts said. Americans are split on how it's going. A survey last month showed four in 10 saying the not sure. Analysts appeared more worried.

At the same time, some U.S. actions have increased contempt for America among Muslims, thus helping terrorists recruit new followers, CHanlon and others said. For instance, though Bush secu- And though Bush asserted that the United States is winning now, there's wide disagreement on that as well It won't be time to even think about declaring victory until the United States goes "many years" without a catastrophic attack like the Sept. 11, 2001, assaults that killed some 3,000 Americans, said Michael CHan- . says the Iraq war is part of the counterterror war, critics say ft was a setback and unnecessary diversion from the real battle because of the failure to find weapons of mass destruction or any proof of a workthere ing link between Saddam Hussein and Even those supporting the administration's invasion of Iraq say almost nothing has been . task done toward the long-terof changing minds in the Middle East, the breeding ground for most Islamic terrorism.

"We have not at all gotten our act together to do that operation,'' he said. Others say it will take far more than that. "We need to address the whole issue of why it is that people turn to such ideologies and become so hateful of America and the West," Hunter said, citing a lack of jobs and educational opportunities as among the factors behind the bitterness..
