This is an interesting article written by a Democrat. Here are 9 of his main points.

The full conflict is only four years old, yet we are making progress more quickly than in anti-communist fight that lasted 50 years.

Let us look at the actual record, and not at the journalistic distortions.

(1) Since September 11, 2001, there has not been a single case of terrorism in the United States.

(2) Mr. Bush's conquest of the Taliban fascists was applauded universally, and Afghanistan has the beginnings of a Muslim democracy, something no one has been able to accomplish in history. A great victory in World War IV.

(3) Mr. Bush's invasion of Iraq has eliminated Saddam Hussein, whose continued presence in Iraq would have made impossible the Middle East's progress toward freedom. The insurgency is at its height, but a guerrilla war without a competing idea and majority public support (most Iraqis support the government) will fail. The desperate insurgents now kill 20 innocent Iraqis for every American. The majority Kurds and Shi'ites, once pushed beyond their amazing patience, will end this insurgency, bloodlessly or otherwise.

(4) Fear of American power has frightened Moammar Gadhafi of Libya, who has surrendered his weapons of mass destruction to the U.S. and has vowed to discontinue any terrorist activities. This is a Bush victory in an important World War IV battle.

(5) The increasing U.S. prestige and power in the Middle East has forced Syria out of Lebanon after Syria was implicated in the assassination of a Lebanese hero. This is solid evidence democracy is developing roots in Lebanon, a small but important Middle Eastern nation, and that the ability of terrorists to intimidate others is waning rapidly. Another victory for Mr. Bush in World War IV.

(6) The desperation of the terrorists was demonstrated by their recent bombing of a Muslim wedding party in Amman, Jordan, where some 60 people were killed. Having difficulty terrorizing Americans, they have killed these innocent Muslims in Jordan, turning that nation against - not America - but al-Qaida. Another significant victory for Mr. Bush in World War IV.

(7) As American power and pressure expands in the Middle East, Egypt has begun loosening its grip on its own people. Multiparty parliamentary elections are being held. This momentum will eventually grasp all Middle East nations. Another victory for Mr. Bush in World War IV.

(8) Muslim terrorism in Muslim nations, from Algeria to Saudi Arabia, is shifting public opinion in favor of America. Still another Bush victory.

(9) The international community is seeking sanctions against both the shaky Assad rule in Syria and the internally unpopular theocratic rulers in Iran. If America, with word and action, continues pressing both renegade nations, as it successfully did the Soviet Union a generation ago, victory in World War IV will be complete as the two terrorist nations collapse from within.

Muslim fascism's only hope is that the media and the once-patriotic Democratic Party's anti-American branch keep blocking the president's valiant fight for worldwide freedom.
