The Nature of the Struggle

One may disagree with the President over the conduct of the war on terror or the relevance of the Iraqi conflict to it, but he made one statement tonight that is unassailably true: the battle that was forced upon us 5 years ago today is not merely a clash of civilizations; it is a battle for civilization, being waged by a barbarian horde that opposes it.

For that reason, the events of 9/11/01 must never be forgotten, and in this battle we must prevail.
