London attacks

London was struck today by a series of coordinated bombings. Scores of people were hurt and as of now 2 (with rumors of a total of 40) people have been killed. An Islamist group claimed responsibility in the name of Al Qaeda.

President Bush, in his comments, said

"The war on terror goes on. I was most impressed by the resolve of all the leaders in the room. Their resolve is as strong as my resolve. And that is, we will not yield to these people, will not yield to the terrorists.

We will find them. We will bring them to justice. And at the same time we will spread an ideology of hope and compassion that will overwhelm their ideology of hate."

It's about time we stopped calling this "The War on Terror". You can't have a war on a method. We are at war, which they declared, on Islamic Fascists. Until western governments start calling our enemies by name we can never make meaningful progress in this war.
