I agree...that "unjust war" line kind of threw me for a loop too...usually Mr. Coren is spot-on in his analysis, but I too wonder what he meant by that...in toto, though, the article was very good and to-the-point....I too wish he'd elaborate on that "unjust war" thingee...

The line itself is correct, and logically neutral. No sane person is in favor of "unjust war". However, in today's PC culture, while logically neutral, the term "unjust war" is ideologically loaded (aka a code word) in favor of the leftist agenda. Including it was fine, but he should have balanced it with "and if you strap a bomb to yourself and blow yourself up along with innocent women and children in order to "further your cause", your're a terrorist and a murderer, not a freedom fighter".

Yes, I agree. You stated it very well in your last sentence.

In and of itself, the phrase in isolation is not problematic.

It is the current usage and context that makes it troublesome.
