Did I write, "war ON terror"? If so, I mistyped. It should read, "war of terror".

Excon,
>>>Yes, I know "their" war is about religion. I was hoping "our" war was about justice.<<<
It's not about "Justice", its about protecting ourselves from attack by terrorists. We are not playing the role of cop and judge. We are playing the role of soldier and protector of our country. And rightfully so.

I don't think protecting ourselves and prosecuting a "just" war are incompatible.
And, you still haven't allayed my fears about GW's born again righteousness.

This is a just war. And there is nothing 'born again' about Bush's righteousness. Unlike Kerry, what Bush believed yesterday is what he believes today and will believe tomorrow: towit - that the USA is NOT and evil empire, that it does have the right to act in its own defense even if it means invading another country to keep them from hurting us, and that the US military is not a bunch of baby killers and rapists.
