(link here, HT: Prof. Reynolds) He argues that the 'War on Terror' is overblown because Islamic radicals are not a direct threat to our existence (neither was Saddam). I disagree. There is doing what needs to be done in order to survive, and doing what needs to be done to elevate the world to a higher standard, and suppress those who think otherwise. That, to me, is what this war is about. We didn't go into Iraq because we needed to, but because it was the right thing to do on a variety of levels (a) oil (b) Saddam being the worst dictator since Hitler, yes, Hitler (c) To produce a democratic, free nation in the heart of the enemies stronghold, to give freedom a chance, and destroy those who would wage war on the U.S. on our soil (bring em on, says Bush). Even though the Bush admin is hopelessly inept, I admire the moralism of W, and the inequivatlbe rightness and wrong he separates the world (too conveniently) into.
