“Yesterday was a huge defeat for the Taliban. The Taliban didn’t show,” – Lt. Gen. David Barno, commander of U.S. troops in Afghanistan. Yep, democracy is to the theocrats and terrorists what light is to darkness. And it’s worth repeating again and again: without the United States, Afghans would still be laboring under an unspeakable terrorist-controlled tyranny. Whatever happens in America’s own election, no one can ever take this legacy away from this president.
