A new article in Wapo by him and Sen. Kyl (R) sums up my thoughts perfectly. In it he announces the relaunch of "The Committee on the Present Danger". In it Lieberman set out the CPD III's mission statement;

In this third incarnation, we intend to focus the committee on the present danger our generation faces: international terrorism from Islamic extremists and the outlaw states that either harbor or support them. The Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks awoke all Americans to the capabilities and brutality of our new enemy, but today too many people are insufficiently aware of our enemy's evil worldwide designs, which include waging jihad against all Americans and reestablishing a totalitarian religious empire in the Middle East. The past struggle against communism was, in some ways, different from the current war against Islamist terrorism. But America's freedom and security, which each has aimed to undermine, are exactly the same. The national and international solidarity needed to prevail over both enemies is also the same. In fact, the world war against Islamic terrorism is the test of our time.

I know many of our Libertarian readers will be disturbed by the reemergence of this group (because in it's previous incarnations, it advocated a large military build-up and not containment), but they shouldn't be, as this group simply seeks to inform Americans about the danger terrorism causes. I also know that our pro-Bush readers will say that only Bush can see to the aims of this group, they are also wrong. The importance of this group during this election cycle is to open debate among the two major party candidates as to which one is truly best in fighting the war on terror correctly.

P.S. Godless has made comments in the past that churches kept Americans eyes open to the dangers of Communism, this is the central group that was responsible for organizing that effort.
