Now, let's head for, if you can imagine, an even more distressing hotbed of erroneous thinking: the Middle East as a whole, which is, even as a statement, an error. When has that part of the world ever been a whole? It has, in fact, been the victim of its own divisiveness since the bricks of ancient Sumer got knocked down by whooping and,

We immediately see that the war on terror is actually only an explosive part of the war on error. Why? It's obviously based on erroneous thinking by its perpetrators, who believe they can make the world Islamic by blowing up people who disagree with them.

There’s also the significant contradiction that their one true God, who would by definition be the God of us all, condones the murder of fellow human beings.

Of course, we can toss in the traditional idea that the most influential way to advocate the superiority of a belief is by example.

Need we extend our argument by dragging in Kant’s Categorical Imperative to indicate how their behavior cannot possibly be an example that all the world can follow.

So let’s leap right to the conclusion that the dimwits under the turbans are definitely in terrible error.

Having now decided that the war on terror is only part of our much larger struggle against error, let’s move on. To be specific, wherever we look, where don’t we see error? Why, just like pioneers with their wagons in a circle, we seem to be surrounded with folks who are letting fly arrows and arrows of errors.

For instance, let us wander over the innumerable instances of error that are being launched from our own nation’s capitol. How often has there been a time when our President and many of our other trusted leaders have bristled with such an abundance of cocksure errors?

In fact, name an issue, and, reliably as a Jack in the box, up pops an error. Iraq? The tax rack? The healthcare attack? The environmental setback after setback? Why, besides the actual errors in judgment, we must even be subjected to grammatical errors and circumlocutions that pain our tender ears.

To magnify how far the mindset over there is from a scrap of hope, we invite you to imagine the United States of Arabia. Don’t expect that improbable conjunction in your lifetime. These people have more heated divisions than a tattered shish-kabob.

Finally, let’s take a look at our own domestic front. In fact, let’s address the spikiest issue anyone may dare to. Of course, we acknowledge everybody’s right to believe whatever they find consolation in. We know well and respect the importance of consolation. Yet we can’t help but wonder at how people hope to find it. It’s as if a great many folks have decided that if you believe something hard enough, you can make it true.

But isn’t it much more relaxing to believe in something that is in agreement with reality? For instance, let us suggest belief in the sanctity of life but with freedom of choice. If you think about it, life with responsible freedom is the only way the wonderful existent could function in harmony with its potential.

Of course, there’s also the convenient fact that life is something we’re all part of, so we might actually arrive at a mutually agreeable set of beliefs about it. The fact is, wherever you look, people are more committed to error than we have ever chanced to notice.

We could go on and enumerate the errors the time bristles with, like the feathers on the headdress of a particularly infuriated Indian chief. But we assume we’ve done enough. Once you see that the real battle of our time is the war, not on terror, but on error, you can muse about the great struggle all day. And no sooner do you start to surmise than yet one more instance of error or a who
