fisking the struggle

Juan Cole, a history professor, has excellently and uncompromisingly fisked the history of our so‐called war on terror.

Which now they’re ironically rebranding our struggle against extremism. Easier to say than the name Bush gave it last year: We actually misnamed the war on terror. It ought to be the struggle against ideological extremists who do not believe in free societies and who happen to use terror as a weapon to try to shake the conscience of the free world.
