Even the Bad Guys Trust Us

The people on the other side of the War on Terror know we are the good guys. They know we would never behave in the barbaric manner they do. Contrast that with our own American left, who accuse our President and troops of being torturers and war criminals. Just who has more faith in our goodness -- the terrorists or our own demented liberals?

Allying with radical Shiites in Lebanon, anti-American Syrians or Islamists in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia does not seem to disqualify Middle Eastern politicos from appreciating the freedom, security and opportunity of the United States.

For all the talk of America's faults, no Middle Easterner worries about vengeful Americans kidnapping or car-bombing his relatives. And few seem to consider that if the worldview of a present-day Lebanese militia or Saudi Arabia ever sweeps the globe, there would be no Dearborn or Aspen for their kin to find sanctuary.
