Whoa, this is the third blog I've posted today. I guess there's just too much going on today.
Hamid Karzai basically summed up what we must be doing in response to Islamic facism, and summed it up eloquentually and beautifully.
The video is at Hot Air. I'll update this post when I find the transcript.
OTHERWISE: I think I'm finally settling down in the Townhall.com blogger "community." I was surprised to find six comments in the
"No money in Liberal Radio" post.UPDATE: Okay, so
Radio Blogger has posted
the audio and the transcript of Karzai's remarks. Mandatory reading, y'all:
Ma'am, before I go to the remarks
by my brother, President Musharraf, terrorism was hurting us way
before Iraq, or September 11th. The President mentioned some examples
of it. These extremist forces were killing people in Afghanistan
and around for years, closing schools, burning mosques, killing
children, uprooting vineyards with vine trees, grapes hanging
on them, forcing populations to poverty and misery. They came
to America on September 11th, but they were attacking you before
September 11th in other parts of the world. We are a witness in
Afghanistan as to what they are and how they can hurt. You are
a witness in New York. Do you forget people jumping off the 80th
floor, or 70th floor when the planes hit them? Can you imagine
what it would be for a man or a woman to jump off that high? Who
did that? And where are they now? And how do we fight them? How
do we get rid of them, other than going after them? Should we
wait for them to come and kill us again? That's why we need more
action around the world, in Afghanistan and elsewhere, to get
them defeated, extremism, their allies, terrorists, and the like,
of them.
That is just too well said. I'm going to put that audio up at the
Classical Liberals group page.
