Looking Evil Right in the Eye
(U.S. News) Mortimer B. Zuckerman - News of horrific abductions and beheadings by radical Islamists fly around the globe on the Internet and satellite TV, but the perpetrators are throwbacks to the Dark Ages. These killings are a tactic in a war to claim the world for a perverted version of Islam. We are in the way as these misguided men seek to restore a new unified Muslim umma (community), ruled by a new caliphate, governed by Islamic law, and organized to wage jihad against the rest of the world. In their war against the "infidels," the terrorists kill irrespective of nationality, race, religion, or politics: many victims are from countries that played no part in the invasion of Iraq. We must win this new war, for these are the same people who want to conduct chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear attacks against us, according to the 9/11 commission.
