Cal Thomas, like many liberals, has issues with the terminology of the War on Terror. Many liberals criticize that terminology as extremely vague; placing us in a state of war for the rest of our lives. Will we ever really eliminate all the world's terrorists? Parenthetically, you might spare us the tired rejoinder "So you are saying we should do nothing." There's a lot of room between doing nothing and declaring an impossible and infinite war.
Cal Thomas also feels that the War on Terror is too vague a term. "It's long past time to ditch political correctness and identify the enemy, which is not disembodied "terrorism" but radical Islamists who commit terror in the perverted name of their god."
He does remind us all that John Kerry may well get the Muslim vote so I guess that's something we should all be concerned about, and he closes his article suggesting that there is no evidence of moderate or peaceful Muslims.
What's nice about Mr. Thomas is that he doesn't proscribe any action to correct this problem. He just let's you know that Muslims are evil, they are voting for Kerry, and we should declare war on them. But he leaves it up to the individual to decide how to interpret that. There's no danger in that vagueness, because I'm sure all of Mr. Thomas's readers will know exactly what he means when he says declare war on (radical) Islam.
At least I hope they will.
