What about comparing WWII to the war on terror? Is that ridiculous?

Completely. It's a different war requiring a different response. Fighting it as though it were WW2 will guarantee that we will lose.

The concept of a "War on Terror" is essentially flawed -- terror is a tactic, a technique. I'd really prefer if the administration would just come out and admit this is a war on islamic extremism/expansionism. But that would tick off our "allies" like the Saudis and Pakistanis.
