BUSH CONTINUES MENTORING NEW DEMOCRACIES: AFGHAN PRES KARZAI
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
A little over two years ago, Operation Iraqi Freedom was set in motion. In three weeks the war was won, United States President George W. Bush having initiated the liberation and US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld having superintended the military success.
It was remarkable. With that three-week-win war, the planet’s military plates were changed forever. From that day forward, dictatorships were put on warning. Citizens of captive countries were given hope that their shackles could some day be snapped so as to spring mortals into freedom personal.
From that day to this, Mr. Bush has continued to encourage democracies wherever possible, wherever invited. His team has given the kind of support necessary to see through, in some instances, what appeared to be the impossible.
Now freedom has become the world craze. More and more populations are clamoring to be released from despotic regimes in order to breathe in liberty breezes. It dates back to the first term of Mr. Bush and colleagues. It continues uninterrupted to the present moment.
The only deterrents have been lagging freedom nations’ leaderships who were particularly petty in arguing and bickering during the Iraqi release of citizens previously held captive by Saddam Hussein.
And of course, the Democratic Party within Mr. Bush’s own country continued day in and day out to thwart every attempt to set loose freedom’s banners in the New Iraq.
Alongside these two components fighting against liberties extended was the liberal press both in the US and abroad. Without hesitation, the mainstream liberal anti-Bush media staccatoed the madness of nay saying to the nth degree.
However, obstacles overcome and continuing to be overcome, Mr. Bush marches forth with speeches in various countries encouraging the grassroots to demand practical freedoms. He is encouraged by other national leaders who echo his same refrain, that is, those not lagging due to self-centered motives and stubborn opportunism.
Therefore, it is time now for Mr. Bush to mentor further with Afghan President Hamid Karzai, the latter coming to America for a visit with the US President shortly. It is called an "official visit," of course.
Slowly America is coming to recognize Karzai’s unique ability as a national head. When here in the United States, he will receive doctorates from Nebraska and Boston University. The Simla University in India already bestowed upon him a doctorate, according to Lialuma Sadid of the Pajhwok Afghan News in Kabul.
"Karzai will also meet Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Vice President Dick Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez and other high-ranking officials including the World Bank president and US legislators."
Thank you, Mr. Bush, for staying firm in your convictions, continuing to befriend freedom fighters worldwide, and addressing the need for even more humans to be liberated from their dictators’ grip.
It all goes for improving the global community for democracies’ sake.
