Go to Laer’s post at Cheat Seeking Missiles to read the story of the Afghani boy named Mahsoom. The boy was horribly burned at home by an accidental propane fire and faced a life of horrible disfigurement and constant pain — until he was brought to the attention of the local U.S. base commander, Army Capt. Jay Berendzen. The Capt. couldn’t do anything for Mahsoom officially through military channels — Mahsoom’s injuries weren’t life threatening, however, that didn’t stop him from appealing to the most effective force on this side of the pond — the generosity of the private sector.

Be sure and read it all — it will make you proud to be an American. As Laer writes in his wrap-up:

How is al Qaeda going to compete against that? If we’re in need of a more straightforward definition of the good vs. evil battle we’re fighting, this is it.

Unfortunately, a lot of the secular Left won’t understand this, won’t understand it at all . . . ’cause it’s impossible to comprehend the battle of “good vs. evil” when you don’t believe in evil, and when to you, good is relative.
