Ted, I think you make one excellent point and then one partially correct point.
Firstly - anyone who thinks that this is a war on Muslims or Islam is mistaken. There are Millions of Muslims who hate bin Lauden and Hate the Taliban and despair at the light that is cast on them. This event will see the Muslim world torn assunder and ultimately reformed under a new and united banner.
Secondly - Our war is against terrorism, soon to be defined by the allied powers.
Examples of what we may find in this definition
Organizations that target civilians
Organizations who's primary aim is the acheivement of terror.
Organization who carry out an act that can have no result besides the acheivement of terror
Thats just three but there'll be more, it'll be the great debate. But once you or your organization falls on the wrong side of the definition - you will be marked for death, by them, and by me.
As bin Lauden and the Taliban fit into this definition they will be the first to go. But they're just the first battle, an example of the point.
