Just finish reading this in American Legion magazine.

The points Dennis Prager brings out,.
Says to me that we best start thinking of this war on terrorism as neither a Liberalism or Conservatism issue.
We fighting for the survival of civilization as we know it.
Some are trying to impose their way of thinking on the rest world.

Here Dennis Prager home page

Might go back to read some of what he has to say.
In a message to the editor, one American Legionare, states that if Liberal and Conservative were taken out of our dictionares.
What names would we use to describe ourselves?
He prefer to think for himself, than have someone else doing the thinking.
I might also be in this frame of mind.
Neither Liberal or Conservative, I'll do my own think...
But I'll also read what others have to say, with an open mind...
Dennis fails to mention those fight in Afghanistan,
How soon we forget...

Concise and to the point. Dennis Prager is a sharp evaluator. Too bad so many of us have faltered in our recollections of why we fight in this new century. I see Afganistan as the result of fundementalist Taliban Islamic ideals trying to reimpose themselves on the population of that country. The same fervor is being used by the insurrectionists in Iraq to draw foreign fighters to kill "infidel" American forces. It is a clash of civilizations.
