Back on that day the Towers crumbled, who saw that we’d have in 2008 armies of Iraqi and Afghan Moslems fighting on our side?
KABUL, Afghanistan – Afghan National Security Forces fought off several insurgents in the Bak district of Khowst province August 20.
The insurgents attacked a group of construction workers. Citizens from a nearby village notified the district centre, and ANSF responded to the site and engaged the militants.
And ISAF ground element responded to assist the ANSF, and U.S. forces sent attack helicopters. More than a dozen insurgents died during the fighting.
This is what the critics don’t understand but what President Bush – backed by John McCain – saw clearly; that the people of the Moslem world are, indeed, people and thus not inclined to kill and destroy but to live and to build. People like Senator McCain understood that the reason for terrorism isn’t Israel or American policy, but the fact that wicked men, backed by wicked governments, were able to have the field all to themselves, with the peoples of the Moslem world cannon-fodder for Islamist ambitions. Get the people away from the wicked men, even for a moment, and the idea was that they would choose living over dying, and that is what happened…and not only did they choose to live, but plenty of Iraqis and Afghans have chosen to risk their own lives so that their peoples can have a better future.
Victory is ours in this War on Terrorism, provided we just keep fighitng and, more to the point, fighting to provide a better life for the people of the Moslem world. The only thing which can stop us is ourselves, should we be so foolish as to elect a President who thinks you can sit down with evil and come to an agreement.
