TOPIC:  Is There a War on Terror?
Is there something called the "war on terror"? I argue that this is a misnomer. Radical Islam--and not terror or the Islamic religion--is the enemy. I will show that (1) it is the great ideological challenge of our time, akin to fascism and communism in their day; (2) that it has two wings, the violent and the lawful; and that (3) the West's goal must be to defeat this ideology and help replace it with a moderate form of Islam.

November 12, 2008:  Dr. Leonard Cole was  the Fall 2008 guest in the National Security Speaker Series.  He is a bio-terrorism expert, author and Adjunct Professor of Political Science in the Global Affairs Division at Rutgers-Newark.
