Two responses:

1) Islam in Europe after America’s short term response.
2) We’re a long way from seeing how it pans out long term.

Hell I’ll go a third, nothing works all the time.
Do you think that anyone's lives have actually been improved by the fallout of 9/11? Whether or not radical Islamists' goals are being achieved isn't the question, it's if humanity as a whole is better off for the violence. Millions of refugees fleeing their homes and Iraq and Afghanistan becoming destabilized warzones doesn't exactly sound like progress. It sounds like same **** different day.
