This war is on "terrorism", is a misnomer -- it is really shaping up as the Great War against those who cherish blinding stupidity, rather than take the world in all it's confusing and contradictory truths.
Your description of this war is dead on, from a certain point of view. After all, trying to bring the Arab World kicking and screaming out of the Twelfth Century is a hard task for anyone.
Meantime, this piece is yet another thinly disguised anti-Semitic rant from Great Britain's answer to Julius Streicher, Robert Fisk.
Be Seeing You,
