The problem with OBL is not just that he is the killer of thousands of american civilians, it is that the 'freedom' he is talking about is the freedom of the Taliban and the freedom of the Mullahs in Iran.
This imposed theocracy, is one that denies educations to girls, dictates proper dress code for men and women, punishes music and songs with lashes and decapitations. The Michael Moore and Noam Chomsky of the world believe this man has legitimate concerns. I'd like to think even a vast of majority of democrats and republicans believe justice has to be brought to people like OBL.
There is no name for this other than evil. Bush may be wrong on a few things, but on this he is correct and JK is wrong. There is Evil in this world, and men like OBL, Zarqawi, groups like Al Qaeda, Taliban, Hamas, Hizballah are all manifestations of that evil.
If we fail to recognize this, if we attempt to appease or withdraw, this evil will grow, and whatever price we pay today will grow exponentially until the day when the our civilization itself must fight or perish. |
