He says the resources used in the War on Terror could shift to focus on China or domestic extremists.This is an opinion column. The thoughts expressed are those of the author.

These were the sorts of people who still sneered at George W. Bush and considered him simplistic, but nevertheless were deeply aligned with him on this core project and gave it not just a respectability, but a kind of intellectual armor that justified it.

Where the War on Terror goes next, there's three options. One option is abolition. Another option, the one seemingly favored by liberals after January 6th, is to reorient the War on Terror against those who have always been the exception to it — white supremacist terror. The lesson we should take from the War on Terror is that no one should be subject to a War on Terror, no matter how disgusting I may find their views.
