Anti-human evil is the same no matter what label it bears. Nazism, Communism, Islam, Fascism, etc...

And the method to destroy it remains the same.

[Mamzelle]

The first thing to do is a matter of culture and philosophy--find a way to define Islam as an ideology rather than as a religion--once that takes place, we will be free to fight an enemy that is already free to fight us.

Excuse me but I think W is standing firm on the WOT. Yes, Reagan would have done the same thing. And W is carrying the "torch" now.

[Cicero]

Bush is standing firm. And his "axis of evil speech" is a close parallel to Reagan's "evil empire speech."

Note that Bush used these words after the clinton administration outlawed the use of the term "rogue states," and substituted PC euphemisms for the unvarnished truth.

Like Reagan, too, Bush is soft-spoken, polite, and gentlemanly, but always firm and straightforward. What Bush lacks, perhaps, is Reagan's gift for speaking. Bush speaks well, but he is not quite so moving as a speaker. His voice is higher and somewhat lacking in resonance--which is hardly a moral failure!

Boy, does this hit the mark.

[Mister Baredog]

It should be remembered today that the vicious caricature of the amiable dunce that dogged Reagan throughout his political career originated in great part not from any bumbling or forgetfulness on his part, but from what the media and political establishment regarded as the sheer outrageousness of his political views.

"Your either with us or against us".

Outrageous, yea right. LOL. Some things never change, this includes media elite condesention towards cowboys.

As long as the mullahs and imams can preach...and as long as they have unlimited amounts of cash to spend....

They will kill us and our leaders will sell us out to them.....

Take away their cash and shut down their mosques and islamic centers in western nations and its all over...

We wont...and our leaders wont let us...

"Wanted: A Reagan to fight global jihad"


We've got one. He's in the White House right now.

[jwalsh07]

This is the war we're in now. If only we had a Reagan to fight it.

And why would be?

President Bush is conducting the war on jihadists in theatres worldwide.

President Reagan was a great man but the failure to recognize jihadism for what it was after the Iranian Hostage Crisis and Lebanon was a mistake. Nobody paid a large price for holding Americans hostage for a year or for the deaths of all those Marines.

We continued to turn the other cheek until 9/11 and now Bush is conducting the war on jihadists on all fronts.

I was a big RR fan and I'm a big George Bush fan. Bush is the man for the times, we don't need to be wishing for what we can't have or, really, don't need.

Wanted: A Reagan to fight global jihad

"Hello."

Supposedly, if we be nice to evil, maybe evil will be nice to us. "Asia for the Asiatics! Everyone else just MYOB!"

[WFTR]

I don't think that President Bush is as far from making the "Reaganesque" stand against the Muslim jihadists as one might infer from this commentary. Most of the president's statements have identified the jihadist Muslims as evil. Where President Bush doesn't go as far as I'd like, I understand that part of the problem is the current situation. While the nation was hurt by events of the 70's and the incompetency of the Carter administration, President Reagan was elected by a much less divided nation. President Bush will spend his entire term trying to reassemble the pieces broken apart by the Clinton administration. We've never seen an evil as complete as that which occupied the White House from '93 to '01, and regaining our clarity after that period will not happen quickly.

There are very useful analogies to be drawn between communism and Islam

The analogies between Islam and the former Soviet Union are few and microscopic in comparison.

Iraq and the entire mid east, is small potatoes compared to the real, global threat that the former Soviet Union posed. At one point in our history, many if not all of our major cities were targeted with ICBMs. This was not a superman movie, it was *real*.

[harpo11]

Bump!

[John Lenin]

Reagan put a cruise missile through Kadaffy's picture window. This guy thinks he would have done less than what W has done ? I don't think so.

[Mo1]

It is a great failing of our age that there is no Ronald Reagan on the scene

Ummm .. where's he been the last 3 years??

Bush may not be Reagan .. But I'm sure Reagan would be proud of what Bush is doing to fight terrorists

[ladyinred]

What a shame that no one will give W the credit for doing this very thing. He called them evil, evil doers, etc. and is doing all within his power, and at great risk politically to destroy the enemy.
