With respect.... It has all been leading to broader wars for many years now. I see terrorist attacks worldwide as a broader war. I see this as World War Three yesterday today and tomorrow.

My line of thinking is that Bush's leveling with the Blair position will do much to snuff the flame.

Only the hardcore religious whack jobs want to fight this thing out...and there is little representation for that position...regardless what they tell us.

Don't forget Al-Queda and the Phillipines.We do have troops have there too.

That is true...Asia has problem pockets here and there.

But is it a "war" or rather a global "insurgency"?

I'd vote for the later.

No argument from me there.

Remember that before 9/11 radical Islam was considered to be on the decline...

The threat we face today is certainly real, but has more to do with traditional sociology and politics than religion...not that fanatics don't exacerbate the problem.

If it's a "war" then it had better be a war against disenfranchisement...

And note to self, you can't bomb people to freedom

any world that can devise and utilize the term ethnic cleansing is obscene


so...what does global insurgency mean? This a new war...not traditional yet a new war of epic proportions.
