US vs. Europe: two views of terror | csmonitor.com

The rhetoric here is very interesting. The debate is being shaped by the language used for political gain, obviously, in a presidentialelection. However the rhetoric suggests there are deep policy differences between the candidates.

The truth is this is a 'war' on terrorism AND all means are needed to win it. It's not either war or police work. It's both and good intelligence underlies both approaches. Kerry is attempting to align himself with the European way of thinking, a strategy designed to please liberals but doomed to fail.
