I Thought the World Was Less Safe Because of the War on Terror

Simon Fraser (Vancouver, Canada) University's Human Security Report Project has released their latest brief.

Challenging the expert consensus that the threat of global terrorism is increasing, the Human Security Brief 2007 reveals a sharp net decline in the incidence of terrorist violence around the world.

Fatalities from terrorism have declined by some 40 percent, while the loose-knit terror network associated with Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda has suffered a dramatic collapse in popular support throughout the Muslim world.
Fatalities cut by 40% and al-Qaeda is suffering a "dramatic collapse in poplar support"?

That sounds like we're winning. Simon Fraser's in trouble now.
