In those particular instances, yes. The US had the same kneejerk reaction to Communism as the Islamic terrorists have to Western "incursion". Neither one was without basis, but neither one examined any circumstances surrounding, well, pretty much anything. Excepting China, the one Communist place the US definitely should have stayed adversarial to.

Although I'm gonna have to agree with genixia on the "Islamofascist" thing.
