"We Mustn't be Afraid to Call The War a War"

Kathryn Jean Lopez repeats an increasingly familiar theme: that political correctness is hampering our resolve in the war on terror. She says, "We in the West face a grave threat from militant Islam, and an even graver threat from our propensity to ignore or redefine Islamic fascism. This is especially true when we adopt politically correct terms to refer to our enemy." Will people still insist on referring to them as "disaffected youth" or "Asians" when they kill 5,000 or 10,000 innocents the next time?
