We must move forward to combat it until all who threaten peace and security are destroyed. It is helpful to have the cooperation of other nations, but the U.S. must be prepared to fight terrorism alone if necessary anywhere and anytime it threatens.

Furthermore, recognizing this resemblance in the rhetoric of both wars is especially significant considering the campaigns are clearly separated by time, region, and philosophy. This might lead some to draw a greater understanding of other commonalities shared by the two…
