Ed Koch Gets It Right

I lived in NYC during the entirety of NYC Mayor Ed Koch's term. I didn't always agree with him but I always appreciated his candor, his vigilance and his love of the city. He is and was a good man with important insight that should be listened to.

He speaks out about the present conflict.

His conclusion:

In my judgment, when history evaluates George W. Bush's position in the
pantheon of presidents, he will be compared with Harry S. Truman. Bush's
fortitude in recognizing the danger of Islamic fundamentalism to the U.S. and,
indeed, the Western world, and his awareness of the need to win this war of
civilizations is remarkable. He deserves the applause of all Americans and in
time he will receive it.
