Henry Kissenger from Powerline 2/24/08
"Terrorism, what we call terrorism, refers to a method. What terrorism
represents is an assault by radical Islam on the political structure of
the Islamic world, but in a deeper sense on the secular structure and
international structure of anything, any society, within reach of
Islam, which means almost every part of the world. That is a
fundamental challenge. Therefore, to talk about withdrawal from any
battlefield is to describe defeat. There is no way to escape the
conflict with Islam by leaving Afghanistan or leaving Iraq. Now that is
not only delusion and it is not something that will have long term
consequences, it is something that would have almost immediate
consequences. That is the fundamental problem of our period. That this
is a war against radical Islam that has to be won."
