At war with Islam
hope readers paid atten-
tion to the article by Jean-
nine Aversa and Andrew
Taylor headlined "Chertoff
says it's time to grow up"
(Eagle, Jan. 18).
Michael Chertoff made the
point of our need to grow up,
one made in the book by Dian-
na West I just finished read-
ing: The Death of the Grown-
up, How America's Arrested
Development is Bringing Down
Western Civilization. Her take
is that our war against terror
is hampered by our teenage
mentality carried into our
adult population.
So much for political cor-
rectness, relativism and, sur-
prisingly to me, having
worked in the Islamic world,
multiculturalism. She even
concludes that we are not only
at war with.Islamic terrorists,
but with Islam itself.
