We actually misnamed the war on terror. It ought to be the struggle against ideological extremists who do not believe in free societies who happen to use terror as a weapon to try to shake the conscience of the free world.
And, you know, that's what they do. They use terror, and they use it effectively.
Wow, that's almost nuanced, though it is extremely at odds with Bush's post-9/11 claims that the terrorists loved terror and disorder for its own sake. That he now recognizes that they do have something of a political goal represents, I guess, progress. It only took him three years to catch up with the rest of the class.
