| War of Ideology by noteworthy at 2:00 pm EDT, Jul 24, 2004 | |||
We're not in the middle of a war on terror. We're not facing an axis of evil. Instead, we are in the midst of an ideological conflict. It seems like a small distinction -- emphasizing ideology instead of terror -- but it makes all the difference, because if you don't define your problem correctly, you can't contemplate a strategy for victory. We've had an investigation into our intelligence failures; we now need a commission to analyze our intellectual failures. Last week I met with a leading military officer stationed in Afghanistan and Iraq, whose observations dovetailed remarkably with the 9/11 commissioners. He said the experience of the last few years is misleading; only 10 percent of our efforts from now on will be military. The rest will be ideological. MemeStreams is a weapons system in the war of ideas. | |||
