Declares 'War' on Democracy
The Terror Chief has declared war on democracy. So he and his insurgents will do their best to make the worst of Iraqi election day. It's probably a retaliatory remark against Bush's speech stating that he would do everything possible to bring liberty and democracy to the world.
It's unfortunate, but true: America is one of the very few places that can truly claim to be a melting pot of cultures and civilizations. Naturally, a few hiccups along the way only served to further heighten the expansion of freedom to all individuals. Iraq, an ancient hodgepodge of tribal conflicts that intensified after the British and the French colonies divided the territories without understanding the history, is not likely to be the melting pot with two major political parties.
America, when it first began, had many different strains of Christianity, and the founding fathers realized that to maintain unity, the government could not try to push one religion over the other. Can the same thing happen in Iraq? We can only hope a perhaps foolish hope.
