"The Fight of Our Lives"

Book Review Time
I just finished "The Fight of Our Lives" by William J. Bennett and Seth Leisbsohn and am slightly shaken up. The catch line on the cover is "Knowing the Enemy, Speaking the Truth & Choosing to Win the War Against Radical Islam. Admittedly, before reading this book I followed the media-fed, prevalent school of thought that the war going on in the Middle East needed to be ended. But as this book pointed out, since when has the war against terrorism become something we need to end instead of win? Why are we so afraid to call muslim terrorists by that name since that's what they call themselves? Why do we feel the need to protect "moderate" muslims if they don't stand up and rebuke these extremists? When a "christian" bombs an abortion clinic, the rest of the christian community immediately stands up and cries out against this travesty.
"The Fight of Our Lives" answered a lot of questions I didn't even know I should be asking. It isn't an easy read but definitely one worth reading.
