There is hope in our fight to free the East. This is a pretty inspiring story about Afghanistan's progress, even though the end is arguably not yet in sight.
From The Best of the Web Today (Friday's article - so, I guess, the Best of the Web Friday!):
"One liberal who makes sense, though, is Slate's William Saletan:
Bin Laden's whole game plan is to turn the people of the democratic world against their governments. He thinks democracies are weak because their people, who are more easily frightened than their governments, can bring those governments down. He doesn't understand that this flexibility--and this trust--are why democracies will live, while he will die. Many of us didn't vote for Bush's government or Blair's. But we're loyal to them, in part because we were given a voice in choosing them. And if we don't like our governments, we can vote them out. We can't vote out terrorists. We can only kill them."
I like this as well, from the same source:
"[M]ake predictions that can't possibly be wrong. With that in mind, we're going to go out on a limb and predict that Chief Justice Rehnquist will retire at some point, unless he dies first."
Just a few thoughts to keep everyone busy today
