Karzai Calls on Taliban to Vote

Afghan president Hamid Karzai has called on members of the Taliban to participate in the nation's democratic process. Certainly you know the Taliban response has been "drop dead."

Sometimes you can negotiate with people. What all world leaders, including Karzai and our President Obama, need to understand is that you cannot negotiate with extreme Islamic fascists. These people are clear about how they want the world to run.

We are in a war of attrition. Who will have the courage, strength and conviction to win?

If freedom doesn't mean much to the American people or our leaders, I suppose it won't mean much to people who depend on us for theirs.
