Elections in Iraq

I am of the mind should President Bush's plan to liberate the Arab countries from themselves fail and the those same Arab nations continue to press their war upon us; the US would be forced to use total war to eliminate the threat. Instead of saving cities and civilian lives, coalition forces, US forces by the time this occurred, would be forced to turn the middle Asian countries into heaps of rubble. Not a pleasant thought, but apparently one the political left is ignoring.

The elections in Iraq, the decent turnout, the fairness of the constitution, (it bends over backward to make sure the minorities have solid chance of protecting their interests) the apparent joy the Iraqi people demonstrated at the polls brought a good deal of hope to me. I've always believed in President Bush's vision for the Muslims, but (always one of those) I worried. How could I not. The press never...never reportsed a decent story. Americans were surprised at the turn out and the joy expressed by the Iraqis, but Dan Rather said the tide had been turning against the terrorists for over two months. He knew but never told us. How's that for media coverage. I am glad I watch next to nothing of TV news, I would certainly have had more headaches then I already do. I am also glad that the elections were a success. The Iraqi priminister and his people have met every goal to turn their country around they have set, because they have fufilled their promise we must fufill ours, the insurgency must be destroyed and the American soldiers remain until its done or the Iraqis can finish it themselves, which will probably be in the next two years or so.
