“The Age of Liberty”

President Bush is making the world safe for democracy.

Paul Kengor writes in the National Review about something really simple; something really basic. So simple and basic that it is apparently beyond the comprehension of the moonbats on the left. It is that democratic states tend to live in peace with their fellow democracies. Wars are started, in general, by those nations which do not have democratic institutions and in which the great mass of the people have no voice. Look at the Middle East today and you find not one real democratic nation. And at the same time, one cannot help but notice that today's wars and conflicts are taking place in exactly those nations which have rejected the trend towards democratic capitalism.

Thus the war on terror is not just a fight against this or that terrorist group. The President has a much wider vision of how the world must change if it is to defeat the prospect of terrorism in the 21st century. And that solution is to bring liberty to those nations that do not have it and which have been so deeply involved in the terrorist agenda. It is just too bad that the left does not want to understand these facts. And if they do understand and still refuse to face them anyway, then it is an even blacker mark against them, for it means that the left would condemn much of the world to servitude in order to protect their own power.
