... In the last ten years there have been a number of Islamist outrages causing death and injury and many more that have been thwarted by good intelligence. Powerful voices in Washington and London argue that Islamist terrorists should be considered ordinary criminals, and therefore dealt with exclusively by the law. The numbers of such men, and their education, tell against a comforting interpretation of this kind. Islamists are never going to accept that they are mere wrongdoers unless they suddenly start conducting themselves as Westerners would like. September 11 was a declaration of war, and it will have to be fought to the finish.
