Letter to the Editor
Sometimes it's easier to tell what isn't a victory than what is a victory. The current government of Afghanistan has a constitution that says anyone converting from Islam to Christianity is to be put to death. That ny friends is NOT a victory. Bush says that he is deeply troubled that Christians can be executed for their faith. I was expecting Bush to be outraged rather than just troubled because after all, he is a Christian, isn't he?

I thought Afghanistan was liberated. I thought we won the war there, gave them freedom and democracy, and that victory there had been achieved. Now we find out that under their laws that a person can get the death penalty for merely being a Christian. Under the new Afghan constitution being a Christian is a death penalty offense. How is it that we can liberate a country and have them bless killing Christians in their Constitution? Is this what we sent our Christian soldiers there to fight for? I'm an Atheist and this even offends me! Only Bush and his ilk could call this a victory.
