This week to a typical "America's the problem" peace-dove-wimp reporter.
Skeptical press
Afghan President Hamid Karzai, addressing Washington reporters this week on the premise that attacking terrorists begets more terrorists:
"Ma'am ... terrorism was hurting us way before Iraq or September 11. 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 11 in other parts of the world. We are a witness in Afghanistan as to what they are and how they can hurt. You were a witness in New York. Do you — do you forget people jumping off the 80th floor or 70th floor when the planes hit them? Can you imagine what it will 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?"
Why does the left want to appease those who can’t be appeased? The argument that fighting for our civilization our way of life and that of our little children creates more Jihadists is ludicrous. What? We’re supposed to stop, and embrace the bad guys while they murder our women and children in the name their ‘god’? F’ that.
