The wanton destruction of the Buddhas of Bamiyan, the greatest archaeological and artistic treasure in all of Afghanistan, was no fluke.
Leftists like Nancy Pelosi who assert that Al Qaeda's terror war against the world is a response to American policies just don't get it.
The Buddhas of Bamiyan had nothing to do with American policies, and they were blown up before the Bush Administration responded to the September Eleventh Atrocities.
And now, Al Qaeda is targeting another Buddhist symbol whom they consider an infidel: the Dalai Lama.

From the Australian:
Security surrounding the Dalai Lama has been tightened after reports of an attempt by the al-Qa’ida-linked terrorist organisation Lashkar-e-Toiba to assassinate the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader.
A three-tier security ring has been thrown around the 72-year-old Buddhist head, who lives at Dharamsala, in the Himalayan foothills, Indian police spokesman Prem Lal said.
All those approaching the exiled Tibetan chief will be closely watched by highly trained Tibetan security guards as well as heavily armed deployments of Indian police.
Hat tip: Austin Bay.
