Dubya gets right to the heart of the problem in his farewell address:
The battles waged by our troops are part of a broader struggle between two dramatically different systems. Under one, a small band of fanatics demands total obedience to an oppressive ideology, condemns women to subservience, and marks unbelievers for murder. The other system is based on the conviction that freedom is the universal gift of Almighty God, and that liberty and justice light the path to peace.
I think he might be exaggerating a little bit about conservatives marking unbelievers for murder, but otherwise I think he’s spot on.
