Every conservative in the last century knew the struggle of the new millennia would be of tradition (Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, etc.) against modernism (liberalism, feminism, protestantism, USA, etc.).
After 9-11, a wave of "new conservatives" (neocons), liberals in disguise, decided Islam is an enemy to conservatives and that USA is worth saving and protecting.
When were you tricked?
Every conservative by now know USSR was the lesser evil in the cold war and that Bin Laden didn't nothing wrong.
