What has 20 years of the 'war on terror' accomplished?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : But it wasn't just the terrorists who gave right-wing extremists a boost: so, too, did the U.S.-led war on terrorism, which involved the near-complete pivoting of intelligence, security, and law enforcement attention to the Islamist threat, leaving far-right extremism to grow unfettered."
45% : Anti-Muslim bigotry is the lasting legacy of the 'war on terror' "Six wars, millions killed, trillions wasted, and a plague of suffering and trauma inflicted on the Muslim world, accelerating a tidal wave of refugees that has created panic in the European Union and resulted in a huge increase of votes for far-right parties -- which in turn has pushed an already extreme political center further to the right.
