Having been in the WTC the first time it was bombed and not far away the second time, I would say that the possibility of more Americans killed in Islamist terror attacks is not infinitesimal.

This guy sounds European to me... "it's not my problem, why should I care?" while he's got his head in the sand.

Upset with the phrase "war on terrorism"? Fine, then do what you can to replace it with "war on Islamic totalitarianism" if it pleases you... we're in this war to the finish, either way.

I think you're both right on this. I'm not happy with the fact that we refuse to define this war more accurately. We have to fight it, and we should thereby define it clearly. It is not a war on 'terror', it is a war on militant Islam. It can be beaten into submission, just like anything else, and it will be.

Maybe I just like calling a spade a spade, but I don't like open ended 'wars on common nouns' by the government. You can't declare victory on a tactic, and when victory does come, the war might not end.

You have a point - common sense is a treasonous attitude and should be prosecuted.
