People keep asking when will democracy take over in Iraq? When will the big plan of the 5th reaon for invasion come to fruition, when will all the war stop? Fact is democracy has been implaced in Iraq, and the minority doesn't like it. Because what have we as Americans taught the Iraqis about Democracy, if not that, democracy is the tyrrany of the majority. We are trying to avoid handing the Iraqi government over to religious fundementalists who think everyone should be and do as they, but we allow the same type of people with fairer skin, no facial hair, and a different moniker (Pastor, Reverend, Born-Again Christian) to take over the American government. We allow the religious majority to dictate what people can and cant do with their own bodies, and in their own bedrooms because they see it as immoral. Robertson, Falwell, and that group from Missouri aren't any different ideologically than the ayatollahs, imams, and clerics on Al Jazeera. Sure they look more like "us" so we give them the pass, but their message is still one of intolerance and the institution of a theocracy. They have created a tyrannical religious majority that does not want to live and let live, but wants to order and command everyone to live as they wish to live.
I have one question for all the theocrats out there. Supposing that there is a God: Did he not give us the ability to make our own decisions? Or are you saying he made a mistake and that ability should be taken from us based on your lowly interpretation of God's word? So, I guess you work directly for God and know exactly what he wants, and he wants to you to take all free will and all temptation away, so that everyone will live by his word; or at least your interpretation of it. So does God talk to you on a two-way radio, cell phone, or do you have a direct line?
Democracy has taken hold in Iraq the same way it has in the US, the tyrannical majority has taken over. The only difference is the minority in Iraq is not going to stand aside while they are pushed around and subjugated to be second class citizens. Democracy should be majority rule with deference to the minority's opinions and beliefs. This wont happen in Iraq, and it certainly is becoming less and less likely to happen in America, the supposed land of the free, and for some odd reason the plague of religion seems to be the infection that keeps people from being able to live free and work together. Here in Iraq it's Sunni vs. Shi'a in the states it's tyrannical Chritian Aytollahs vs. open minded freedom loving Americans (many regular Christians included). Coinicidence...I think not.

American Taliban they are.
And they will throw as many of you and your buds onto the pyre to spread "Democracy" as they see fit.
Predictions -
Attack Iran - March - June
Main Obj. - Southern Oil Fields and the all important Kharg Island complex.
Spots along Gulf to secure waterway.
Nuke power plants destroyed.
With the ensuing mayhem the Temple Builders will destroy the Al Asqa Mosque in Jerusalem. For Prophecy to hold true this must be done by the end of the Hebrew year so the Temple can be rebuilt.Or I should say so the cornerstone(s) can be laid.
The excuse will be either an "attempted" Terror attack on American soil, or another staged attack like 911. They may also stage an attack like Hezbollah did in Beirut in '82.
Tie it to "Islamofascists" (no such creature) and rally the sheeple.
Our only hopes as I see it is if the Russians check by word and deed, or control over subordinates is lost(my wish), or sane domestic political forces gain control.
Sorry to be so pessimistic. But I was correct on Iraq. Hope I am wrong.
I also notice hardware being implaced in readiness. The drum beat is picking up.
Thank you for the caveat concerning Christians. Thank you for all you do. You and others are our best hope.
Peace.
Good to hear from you. Was worried... or rather, concerned.
WAH is at C.B. Sure they'll go N soon.
Human speaks more clearly, more intelligently than Pixie. Thank you Human.
Thank you AM.
Right on, Brother! I'm truly sorry you're stuck in an ill-conceived religious war waged by incompentent civilian leaders. Thank you for speaking your mind - and the truth. How many of your fellow troops agree with you? Check out my blog on The American Insurgency and let me know what you think: danzpage.blogspot.com
