At the National Press Club on Thursday, U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) said that the United States is not engaged in a "war on terror," but a "war on Islamic fascism." He compared the threat with Nazism during World War II and communism during the Cold War, emphasizing that the danger is real and imminent. Santorum also condemned journalists who published classified information on domestic wiretapping and financial tracking as irresponsible, saying they have "put American lives at greater risk by publishing these secrets." However, Santorum said he did not support a military campaign to remove Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, but instead added that the people of Iran should have a chance to participate in democratic elections.
"The people of Iran, who overwhelmingly wish to live in a free society after 27 years of horror, want the chance to choose their own leaders and their own poli cies. They, not the fanatics, should be our negotiating partners."

"Islamic fascism is the greatest test of this generation...Terror, like blitzkrieg, is a tactic of war. It is not the enemy."
