Gary Kasparov’s opinion piece in today’s Wall Street Journal, Terror vs. Transparency, is a must read. Kasparov argues that UN involvement in the War on Terror is a prescription for disastor.
The terrorists are well-funded, organized, and committed to turning Iraq into the new center of jihad. Funds and fighters are freely crossing the Iraqi borders with Iran and Syria. But contrary to popular belief, the jihadis aren’t fighting infidels; they are fighting liberal values as represented by America and Britain. The antiterror forces must be willing to attack the problem at the source. Giving authority to the United Nations practically guarantees that the problem will only get worse.
