Last night, “Nightline” ridiculed the president for using many terms to describe America’s enemies in the war on terror, such as “Islamofascists” and “Saddamists.” I wonder if the media would have been joking around during World War II about FDR and the Nazis, the Japanese, or the Axis. Somehow, I don’t think so. Whatever you choose to call our enemies, both the thugs who terrorized Iraq and the Islam-inspired terrorists, the fact is, they are trying to kill us. What’s so funny about that?
