Think it will ever end? I mean I had hope but with this Libya situation I just don't know.

The "War on Terror" is not a single war, it is a series of related wars, some of which are public and some not. The affair in Libya is unrelated, its the beginning of an completely seperate series of related wars.

It isn't really a war at all in the first place, given that terrorists aren't armed combatants, whatever the provos used to claim about a cammo jacket and a balaclava counting as a uniform...

I think the names will change, but terrorists of some sort or another will always be a threat.

Yep. Which is why the whole notion of a "war" on terror was a bloody stupid idea in the first place, frankly.
I'd always thought that the vast majority of people didn't approve of terrorism, you see. It seems a bit redundant, doesn't it?
