I wouldn't necessarily equate non-state-sponsored terrorism as fascism. If it were state-sponsored, then it could be a portion of a fascist regime's repertoire. But the stuff we're talking about isn't state-sponsored to my knowledge. <BR/><BR/>My guess is this is part of the info ops to tie terrorism to Iran, which will be the de facto state sponsor du jour. I suspect we'll begin to hear it more and more as the Israel-Hezbollah conflict rides on (assuming the alleged cease fire doesn't hold, which I fully expect it not to) and as the winds of war blow more fervently toward the east. <BR/><BR/>The damn Bush administration just doesn't seem to have a clue that using a term such as Islamic Fascism will only enflame hatred toward the U.S., especially since that term seems to corollate Islam with fascism. Are all Muslims fascists? One might think so when hearing Bush use that term. <BR/><BR/>And is only Islamic Fascism - whatever that means - bad? Is it worse than other kinds of fascism? Should we not be concerned with ALL kinds of fascism? So many questions. So few good answers. Once again, the Bush administration defies logic or common sense.
