According to Rumsfeld the war on terror will be a long war that could stretch
a generation, akin to the cold war. The article, which appears in today’s

Washington Post, says what we have been saying all along – the war on terror
will be very long. Of course Rumsfeld doesn’t admit to the simple fact that it
most likely will never end. There have been terrorists around throughout
history.

So what does this mean? This means things like the Patriot Act and domestic
surveillance will be permanent if Bush gets his way. The freedoms we use to
enjoy are now just a memory in our lives. This is why we need a leader in the
White House who understands the very importance of freedom and liberty and will
not give in to terrorists by depriving our nation of these rights.
