Politics aside, when three of the West's most recent mass shootings are carried out Islamic extremists, more than simple coincidences are involved. Admitting that those who do such acts are Islamic extremists won't win the War on Terror. It will however go at least some way toward gaining an understanding of the adversary, both in the eyes of officials and the public. Only then can we even hope to have chance following Sun Tzu's maxim toward some form of victory. The biggest danger of political correctness occurs when leaders believe trendy catchphrases instead of the reality around them. Doing that, and not understanding one's own culture, is a surefire way to losing any conflict, as Sun Tzu foretold millennia ago. -- William S. Cobb
