Bush Likens War Against Terrorism to WWII

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=514&e=1&u=/ap/20040602/ap_on_el_pr/bush

AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. - Likening the terrorism fight to the World War II struggle against tyranny, President Bush (news - web sites) urged support Wednesday for his efforts to spread freedom and democracy in the Middle East despite the angry distrust of many Arabs.

Just as events in Europe determined the outcome of the Cold War, events in the Middle East will determine the fate of the terrorism fight, Bush said in a 45-minute foreign policy speech. He said that beyond jailing terrorists, free nations must nurture openness in oppressed societies to head off the resentment and anger that breeds violence.

He said such a transformation would take generations and was essential to America's security

(snip)

Bush told the Air Force graduates, "The enemies of freedom are opposed by a great and growing alliance" beyond the United States. "Nations that won the Cold War, nations once behind an Iron Curtain, and nations on every continent see this threat clearly. ... The war on terror is civilization's fight. And, as in the struggles of the last century, civilized nations are waging this fight together."
