The True War: Within, and for, Islam: "History is so much wet cement for presidents and presidencies. You are stamping a footprint on immortality one minute, stuck firmly and ignobly the next if you don't move quickly enough.
George W. Bush has reached that point in his global war on terrorism. His initial use of the phrase and the concept rallied a dazed nation against a movement of killers who had been picking off Americans and others without retribution. Bush's inspirational abilities, and the ineptness of his opponents, won him reelection.
But the terrorist assault in London last week -- and the composed manner in which the British capital responded -- helps paradoxically to demonstrate that Bush needs to adjust strategy to the changed global conditions his policies have produced. So does the course of the continuing war in Iraq."
