Political correctness run amuck

Political correctness run amuck

New Hampshire Union-Leader: This nation and much of the Western world are in a war, not against a generic “terrorism” but against a particular and brutal strain of Islamic extremism that wants to do as much damage as possible to our freedoms and way of life.

George W. Bush was wrong to call this the “War on Terror.” But he was right to focus on it after attacks on America by Islamic extremists.

President Barack Obama is right to continue the fight, including working with Muslim countries to root out and kill the enemy.

But the Obama plan to be more politically correct by ignoring “militant Islamic radicalism” is itself ignorant of the real situation

Muslim nations that profess to be our friends and to practice the peaceful tenets of their faith should not take offense that we make clear who is our enemy.
