Our strategy to protect America is based on a clear premise: the security of our nation depends on the advance of liberty in other nations. On September the 11th, 2001, we saw that problems originating in a failed and oppressive state 7,000 miles away could bring murder and destruction to our country. We saw that dictatorships shelter terrorists, feed resentment and radicalism, and threaten the security of free nations. Democracies replace resentment with hope. Democracies respect the rights of their citizens and their neighbors. Democracies join the fight against terror. And so America is committed to a historic long-term goal: to secure the peace of the world, we seek the end of tyranny in our world. We’re making progress in the march of freedom, and some of the most important progress is taking place in a region that has not known the blessings of liberty, the broader Middle East. Two weeks ago I got a chance to visit Afghanistan and to see firsthand the transformation that has taken place in that country. Before September the 11th, 2001, Afghanistan was ruled by a cruel regime that oppressed its people, brutalized women, and gave safe haven to the terrorists who attacked America. Today the terror camps have been shut down, women are working, boys and girls are going to school. Afghans have voted in free elections. Twenty-five million people have had the taste of freedom. Taliban and al Qaeda remnants continue to fight Afghanistan’s democratic progress. In recent weeks they have launched new attacks that have killed Afghan citizens and coalition forces. The United States and our allies will stay in the fight against the terrorists and will train Afghan soldiers and police so they can defend their country. The Afghan people are building a vibrant, young democracy that is an ally in the war on terror, and America is proud to have such a determined partner in the cause of freedom.Compare that to the complexity of Pres.
