War on Terror outside of Mideast

Some, such as Dennis Prager, argue the so-called war on terror is mis-named, because its a war on radical Islam. I disagree. I contend that terrorism was the method of war of the international communist movement during detente, supporting, training, and encouraging their leftist allies in the so-called third world. I like the phrase the war on terror and I don't want to see the concern limited to the Mideast. There are terrorists globally, and they have long aided one another, trained one another, and cooperated. Its essential to wage war on all terrorists in all places according to priorities established by policy. Certianly that makes the Mideast the central front in the War on Terror, but here is some good news on other fronts.

Not surprisingly, those who prefer to capitulate to terror are concerned. More concern here.
