...infidel—mutilated American soldiers in Somalia, the destruction of the USS Cole, mangled bodies at the American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.” How can we reconcile with a culture that celebrates such genocide? Our own civilization’s differences with radical Islam are simply irreconcilable in any diplomatic sense. We are fighting not only to eliminate a source of hatred and destruction from the world, but also to help the peace-loving, impoverished peoples of Afghanistan experience the wonders of freedom...

Unfortunately, our enemies do not embrace these same values. Radical Islam is rooted in discrimination and intolerance, so much so that its followers consider the lives of all others—that is, anyone who doesn’t believe exactly what they believe—to be worthless. Supporters of Osama bin Laden view Westerners as “infidels,” and they do not acknowledge our right to exist on earth. Let me clarify: they will not be satisfied until every non-Muslim in the world is dead and their beliefs abolished...
