The enemy has a name. They are ISLAMISTS.

In Arabic Islam means submission (to their god). That's taken literally by the Islamists. If we don't submit to their demands as dhimmis, we will be terrorized into submission -- by terror-threats to rob and murder. This is how they rob people of their freedom to fight back.

So terrorism is nothing but THUGGERY, plain and simple!

Calling these Islamists ‘freedom fighters' (as is done by many Muslims) is an oxymoron. Intimidation and coercion does not lead to freedom. It leads to bondage.

That's what Pres.Bush is fighting against – break the Islamists' bondage off the people in the Muslim world, before they extend their tentacles into the US and entangle us in their grip. Those who don't understand this are gullible fools.
