President Bush was clearly NOT calling for a crusade, and in his speech of Thursday night did not use those words.
President Bush calls for an end to tolerating state-sponsored and stae-enabled terror.
In that context, President Bush tells the world that national leaders are either with or against.
And Bush did invoke, in that context, that God is not neutral.
God is on the side of those who seek to do good, not referencing their particular religion at all.
Don't worry, no one is going to kill France.
We seem to be the target.
If France is having a French moment, and can't find its will to fight terror, then that's OK. Just don't impede the war. We WILL prevail.
We are not after Pax Americana at this point, just as we never in fact have been.
If that has to change, I am sure we will let the world know.
