A Day for Common Ground
Another friend emailed me a dated link to a liberal UK paper. If you are not familiar with the Daily Mirror, it has been described as “a notoriously left-wing daily that is normally not supportive of the Colonials across the Atlantic.” This post was written on September 11, 2002 by Tony Parsons. He’s not in full agreement with the US, but he understands what is at stake.
The campaign in Afghanistan may have been less than perfect and the planned war on Iraq may be misconceived.
However he believes America has acted calmly in response to the September 11 attacks and he is thankful for our restraint.
The anti-American alliance is made up of self-loathing liberals who blame the Americans for every ill in the Third World, and conservatives suffering from power-envy, bitter that the world's only superpower can do what it likes without having to ask permission.The truth is that America has behaved with enormous restraint since September 11.
Since it is an older article, I won’t quote much from it. But it is a useful reminder as to why we are trying to make the world a safer place.
