Pete DuPont has one of those year-end wrap-up things in Opinion Journal today. I pretty well agree with it all, particularly with one of the most under-appreciated stories of the year:
OpinionJournal - It Was a Very Good Year -America and democrats of the world can be proud of 2004
...In October 10 million Afghans participated in the first election in the history of their nation. America made it possible by defeating al Qaeda and destroying the Taliban. Freedom and democracy came to a brutally victimized Afghan people...
Ah, but they still grow poppies...yeeess...but they don't execute women for showing ankles, beat kids for flying kites, provide a haven for Al Qaeda and enforce a medievil justice system by executing people in a soccer stadium built with international aid.
