What Are We Fighting?

Remarks by the President at Bush-Cheney 2004 Reception

Terrorists declared war on the United States of America, and war is what they got. …

See, they know that the advance of freedom in Iraq would be a major defeat in the cause of terror. …

We will win this essential victory in the war on terror.

The Unibomber and the Oklahoma City Bombers are terrorists.

Terror is not a political movement or a philosophy. Terror is a tool or technique that can be used by anyone of any political view. We are at war with people who use terror; we need to think about why they use terror.

I cannot read about “The War On Terror” without remembering the “War on Poverty” and the “War on Drugs” — neither of which has been effective.

I would feel more comfortable with a President who is capable of understanding what we are fighting. Our cold-war military-industrial complex cannot defeat “terrorists”. mjh
