Not Too Bad: Leading Up To Elections in Iraq

I am sure you have heard the doomsayers announcing that nearly all of the Iraqis in the more dangerous provinces will stay home. Saddam Hussein used WMD and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of innocent people. Iraqis that compose the silent majority in Iraq were the ones that suffered under him and they will make a huge presence on Election Day.

According to a report at NewsMax.com, Sunni (the party of Saddam Hussein and the minority party) participation in the election could reach 50%. This information comes from a State Department official that spoke on background last week. The MSM missed this little announcement but NewsMax.com did not. A poll conducted by a Republican think-tank and reported in The Scotsman revealed similar interest inside Iraq for the elections to take place this weekend. The poll found that 80% of Shiite and Kurdish voters and nearly 50% of Sunni voters intend to vote in the elections beginning Sunday, January 30th 2005.

Lots and lots of Iraqis may die and the elections won’t be perfect in many ways. Those that end up in the clear minority as a result of these elections are likely to argue (without success) that the elections were illegitimate. The terrorists will be so disparaged as a result of these elections that they will claim the elections are illegal despite more than 60% of the country having turned out to vote.

In all my research on the Iraq election, which is significant, I believe they will go forward as planned and that all of the doomsayers, projecting mass boycotts and death will be again proven wrong. You see, these are the same folks that have been nay saying about Iraq since the invasion. These are also the same people or the descendants of the same people that boohooed over our involvement in Vietnam and eventually caused the US troops to leave. This eventually led to a 100% removal of all support and the collapse of the Democratic South Vietnamese government.

Most of the people who are openly predicting illegitimate elections are not at all impressed that Iraq is having them at all. It is important that all freedom-loving Americans understand that our own 1st elections did not go well. Nor have the early elections of several South American counties which our now Democracies.

The filthy Jihadists are pulling out all the stops to stop or make illegitimate these elections. They are quiet obviously going to kill as many people, regardless of nationality, as they can. They believe the people of Iraq wish to be ruled by fear and terror. My bet is that they are wrong. I believe that a massive majority of Iraqis will come out and prove that they want to be in control of their own nation and that they want that nation to hear their voices.
