How democratization has put us in bed with the Muslims

Here’s something to make your teeth hurt. The U.S. State Department refuses to call on the Afghanis to stop seeking the death penalty for a former Muslim who became a Christian. Instead, the State Department spokesmen are saying things like, “We believe it is important that the Afghan authorities handle the case in a transparent manner,” as though all they care about were proper legal procedure. But wait—that is all our government cares about, isn’t? For example, if a mass-murdering terrorist organization comes to power in the Palestinian Authority by legal popular vote, that’s fine with us, right?

Meanwhile Italy told the Afghanis it would withdraw its troops from Afghanistan if the Christian man is not spared.
