Ask the White House?
Zarqawi click Zarqawi click Zarqawi click Zarqawi click Zarqawi...
Q. Aren't virtually all of the accusations that President Bush leveled against Islamic extremists in his speech today equally true of himself and his government? When will the President stop killing civilians in Iraq, stop protecting the drug trade in Afghanistan, stop torturing prisoners, stop developing dangerous new weapons, stop trampling human rights abroad and democracy at home?

WHITE HOUSE:
I am afraid I must strongly disagree with you. The United States was attacked by Usama bin Laden and al Qaeda? On 9/11, and several times before that, including when they attacked our embassies in 1998. It is our moral responsibility to protect the American people by eliminating the terrorist threat posed by Islamic militants like Bin Laden. I would hope that you can see a vast moral difference between the President’s decision to defend the American people from further attacks and the actions of Islamic radicals who intentionally murder innocent civilians, to advance their evil ideology and agenda. The United States goes to the greatest possible lengths to avoid civilian casualties—to a degree perhaps unprecedented in the history of warfare. And when civilians are accidentally killed during war it is a regrettable tragedy. For the Islamic radicals—the Zarqawis and the Bin Ladins—civilian casualties are the very point. They don’t go to any lengths to avoid them, they rather seek ways to maximize them. The last several years, including 9/11, have been witness to their continual horrors.
