I think it was a big mistake by Bush to present this war as a "War against Terriorism". Actually, it's a war between two cultures or civilizations. Each side has it's military forces. The west has a high tech military and the radical islamist has a low tech military. Because their's is low tech they primarily utilize human resources to deliver their ordance, i.e., suicide bombers. This is much the same as the Japanese (kamakazie's) did during the closing days of WWII when the had depleted their pool of trained and skilled pilots. This is kind of long but we (America) must realize that we really are in a long protracted war and that it's global in scope against an enemy bent on our total destruction - and our leaders should say it.

I agree wholeheartedly that the Bush Admin took the wrong approach to sell the war in Iraq to the American people.

Simply, whether you support the war in Iraq or not depends on your answer to one basic question; "Do you believe this country and the west in general is in a global struggle against a enemy who wants to destroy western culture?" If your answer is "yes", then the war in Iraq makes sense. If your answer is "no" then the war in Iraq does not make sense.

Instead, they didn't give the American people enough credit to grasp that and instead used WMD's as a selling point.

This IS a war against terrorism. It is also a war between 2 cultures, democracy and fascism.

Democracy is represented by the combined administrations of the coalition that is bringing democracy to the mid east.

Fascism is represented by liberal elites who spare no efforts to destroy the very best that ours and other nations achieve.

The MSM and the leadership of the Democrat party work diligently to achieve basic Marxist goals.

They are antilife, antifamily, antiliberty, antichild, antiwars of democratic liberation, antireligion, anticonservative, anticonstitutional, and antifreedom. They are proabortion, proelitist authoritatian, prohomosexual, progovernment domination, protax, proeducational indoctrination, and prosocialist.

Until we overcome the tyranny of liberalism we will not win the war against terrorism.

The means is simple. The Constitution must be enforced.

Bloated federal government must be ended.

Religion must be an absolute right.

Life must be guaranteed from conception to unavoidable death.

Cultural Marxism must be understood and destroyed as the enemy of our Constitutional government and the greatest evil of our time.
