Long Live The "War on Terror"
http://www.deanesmay.com/posts/1203715020.shtml


   What [1]Hirsh and other post-liberty liberals seem incapable of
   grasping is that the practice of terrorizing people with violence for
   purposes of controlling them is the same unethical use of force that
   defines totalitarians of any stripe, from Nazis to Communists to
   Baathists to Islamofascists. That is why Bush correctly says that
   terrorists are the heirs to the ideologies we defeated in the 20th
   century, and that is why the war or terror remains the "transcendant"
   challenge for a nation founded on the principle "that all men are
   created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain
   unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit
   of Happiness."
   And may we stay at war with terror till no human is subject to denial
   of these rights by terrorists.
