Rick Santorum, the former Senator from Pennsylvania who is quite conservative, had this quote in 2006. "Some say we're fighting a war on terror. That's like saying World War II was a war on blitzkrieg. Terror, like blitzkrieg, is a tactic of war used by our enemy; it is not the enemy."
As far as the author of the story that the OP linked to, his argument is very weak. The 3 things that he says are common to the Confederacy and Bin Laden/Taliban are very general and are grievances that are common to many groups, e.g German occupied Holland.
To identify Confederate soldiers with Bin Laden, he had to find things that were unique to the 2 groups, which he didn't because he can't.
