Many on the left have claimed that America's war on terror has done little to make the world a safer place. They're wrong. Bush's foreign policies are working and here's the proof from two sources that could never be considered pro-Bush (via Instapundit):

From CNN:

International acts of terror in 2003 were the fewest in more than 30 years, according to the U.S. State Department's annual terrorism report released Thursday.

The Patterns of Global Terrorism report said 190 acts of international terrorism occurred in 2003 -- a slight drop from 198 attacks the previous year and the lowest total since 1969.

From the BBC:

US government figures suggest that terrorist attacks have fallen to the lowest level for more than 30 years.
The annual report records a slight fall in the number of international attacks last year and a dramatic decrease in the number of victims.

The report says that less than half the number of people lost their lives in such attacks last year compared with the year before.

Say what you want about Bush, but his policies have made the world a safer place.
