‘The war on terror’ may not be the best of phrases, but it is a reasonable shorthand. Islamist terrorist murderers don’t kill decent and brave people because of mistakes made by President Bush or Tony Blair or President Musharraf or anyone else. They do so to destroy the chance of millions of Muslims and ‘infidels’ all over the world to live decent lives. http://www.spectator.co.uk/the-magazine/features/429251/we-are-at-war-with-hatred-fanaticism-and-despair.thtml
