Bush Marks War’s Anniversary, Vowing to Fight On

Bush Marks WarÂ’s Anniversary, Vowing to Fight On

Bush is right. There can be to turning away from using all means to eradicate terrorists, whether radical Islamist or others. They must be allowed no sanctuaryy, given no quarter and pursued until they are killed. This is not a police action with law enforcement rules of evidence as some in Europe believe. This is a war fought by military AND civil police in accord with the rules of war...if there are any in a war on terrorism.

The solution for terrorists is eradication. The long term prevention of terrorism is a change in mindset by those within Islam who see a different future and reject the jihad covering claimed by the killers.

"We don't know if this is the voice of the actual killers, but we do know that it expresses the creed of the enemy," he (Bush) said. "It is a mindset that rejoices in suicide, incites murder and celebrates every death we mourn. And we who stand on the other side of the line must be equally clear and certain of our convictions. We do love life, the life given to us and to all. We believe in the values that uphold the dignity of life: tolerance and freedom and the right of conscience. And we know that this way of life is worth defending."

"There is no neutral ground - no neutral ground - in the fight between civilization and terror, because there's no neutral ground between good and evil, freedom and slavery, and life and death," Mr. Bush went on. "The war on terror is not a figure of speech, it is an inescapable calling of our generation."
