Not only that, why aren't we fighting TOTAL WAR against totalitarianism? Why don't we have a draft, taxes at 91% for the top rate to pay for it, rationing and the measures we took during WW II?

Because, even Bush knows his bullshit IS bullshit..

First of all, when you struggle against an ideology, this doesn't mean you go to war against everywhere at once. We struggled against Communism for 50 years, yet never declared war on the USSR.

Second, in places like Egypt and Saudi Arabia, the current governments are considered marginally better than having the Muslim Brotherhood or Al Qaeda take over. Wouldn't you agree?
