One of Bush's concepts on the War on Terror is to replace those governments that harbor and grow hate with democracies. It's an important concept, one that recognizes that in order to kill the weed of murder and torture you have to pull it up by its roots. The new seeds, planted well, will flower into the type of free flowing information that'll pollinate the brains of young and old alike.
I know, I know. It sounds like some fairy tale. But recent polls taken in Islamic countries show a sudden drop in support for Bin Ladin accompanied by an INCREASE of popularity of the US. Some may have come from our support of Indonesia's (the largest Muslim country in the world) tsunami relief. Some may be the mostly unreported news of new schools, better power grids, freedom of women, the right to vote, and a new right to criticize government without fear of being beaten then thrown off a roof.
Finally, the sacrifice the US coalition has taken to fight against those that would blow up ordinary citizens just because they fear democracy must be making its mark. Just days ago the terrorists set off a bomb intentionally targeting Iraqi children while US troops were treating them to candy. I believe the death toll was about 25. Foreigners are fighting and dying under the duel purpose of fighting terrorists for the survival of Western Civilization and the freedom of Iraqis and Afghans. Bush has forsaken the narrow concept of surviving by placating evil, to thriving by eliminating evil. Sorry Libs, but despite your hatred of anything Bush, it's working.
