Bush Likens War Against Terrorism to WWII

AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. - President Bush preparing new Air Force officers for war, cast the fight against terrorism as a struggle between freedom and tyranny similar to World War II and the Cold War.

"Our goal, the goal of this generation, is the same," Bush said Wednesday, after referring to World War II. "We will secure our nation and defend the peace through the forward march of freedom."

Except that in those wars, we were fighting wars against nations. This time we're fighting a war (?) against an idea. Also, the goal of terrorists is anarchy, not tyranny. Am I mistaken in seeing those two as polar opposites?

Also, not to waste the free use of Air Force One, he raised more than $2.2 million last night.
