We are at war with terrorism, not Islam.

Prager did a whole show about this today and I thought he made some good points. He loves President Bush but he was saying how Reagan was such a great president because he defined the problem of the time--communism. One point Prager made was that there is terrorism all around the globe and not all of it threatens us. The threat comes from fanatical Islamists--not all of Islam but Islamic adherents nonetheless. He said until President Bush stops using the generic "terrorism" it's going to make it harder to fight--something I hadn't considered until he mentioned it. Hope he writes a column about it.

But the WOT is not only about Islamic Terrorism - or did little Kim convert when we weren't looking? I beleive today's headlines were about a successful test of a North Korean rocket capable of hitting Alaska [perhaps Hawaii?] So, no, Prager missed one.

GWB is correct in not getting the WOT confused with a crusade and focusing on a specific sequential target (the why didn't we finish in Afghanistan before taking on Iraq argument). Fanatical Islamists are certainly a major part of the threat, but not the total threat. But we digress from the funeral service topic.
