Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 3 page paper arguing that George W. Bush has no clear idea of how long the war against terrorism will last, how much it will cost or when he will need to raise taxes to pay for the effort. The bottom line is that there are too many unknowns for the Bush administration to be able to provide any firm picture of total cost of the war effort or when it will be “safe” for the economy for the administration to raise federal taxes. Without knowing how long the war effort will last, there is no way to firmly predict what the final cost will be. Without knowing that bottom-line figure, neither can tax increases be predicted. All hinges on how effective allied forces are able to be in inhibiting terrorists’ ability to act at will. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
In the early 1970s, the cost of the Vietnam War was becoming apparent. The Johnson administration inherited the war that already had been going on for several
years when Lyndon Johnson took office, and of course it continued into Richard Nixons administration while the US economy traveled across wide swings that ultimately required wage and price controls.
We have better fiscal controls and greater accountability measures in place now, but those alterations will not aid President Bush in determining just how much the war on terrorism
will cost. Nor can the president yet have an idea of when taxes will need to be increased to cover the shortfall. How Long will it Last?
Can the Bush administration make any meaningful determination about how long the war on terrorism will last? Clearly it cannot, for there are too
many unknowns for which there are no clear answers. Eliminating the Taliban from Afghanistan was a major accomplishment in slowing the course of terror, but of course bin Laden
still has not been captured. All of those involved in al Quaeda are rabid in their hatred of "the infidels" of the world, and the continued operation of al
Quaeda is not dependent on the continued existence of its leader. Even if allied forces were able to capture bin Laden tomorrow, his terror organization still would have momentum
and dedication to its cause. Several of al Quaedas leaders have been captured, and that fact inhibits the organizations ability to act as freely as it did prior to
9/11, but there is no way of knowing how many possible substitutes for those leaders currently exist in the organization or can be recruited into it.
