“President Bush says, just as the United States persevered and ultimately won the Cold War against communism, America will emerge victorious in the war on terror”

This is a dangerously bad comparison…part and parcel of the overall flight-suit version of the “war on terror.” Unless, of course, we want to extend the comparison with the war against communism and say that, just as there are still communists and communist nations, there will always be people willing to use the tactic of terrorism against us. And if that’s the case, fighting those who would kill us will never be enough.

The way to lasting safety ultimately is through peace. IMO. [Tags: politics terrorism peace]
