Editor, Daily News:
The death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and its consequences highlight a reality for me.
The war in Iraq is not a war against any one or more terrorists. It is not a war of one army, one country or one government against another. It is a war between cultures, mores, values, religions, ethics, philosophies, political beliefs, senses of fairness and attitudes of life.
It is fundamentally a war between societies who differently interpret life, its expectations and responsibilities. Our heritage has been molded by Western civilization over millennia.
The posterity of the society we are confronting in Iraq also has been molded over millennia, but in a different cast.
Our government's warning that this conflict may go on for years is the grossest understatement of expectations we have ever experienced!
