"If Senator Edwards is saying that the war on terror doesn’t exist, I would agree”, Congressman Tancredo said. “Terror is a tactic used by the enemy with which we are at war."

He goes on, of course, and the further he goes, the further he goes astray, but this, at least, is a notably lucid observation from one of the GOP primary contestants.

Terror, more accurately, is a tactic used by many enemies of the US, at home and abroad. War has been a particularly ineffective solution, really. The terror busts we hear about are invariably matters of effective and largely traditional law enforcement practices.
