The latest political trend among
Muslim-Americans is encouraging one another to vote
Democratic, since it is presumed that Democrats will slowly
withdraw the American presence from the Middle East.
Indeed, even as early as 2003, there developed a curious
symbiotic relationship between the Democratic Party and Sunni
insurgents, with the implicit assumption being that the
success of one assisted the other.
This is not entirely
correct, however, and it may take a Democratic victory in
November to jolt the Sunnis into realizing that their best
hope for survival in Iraq lies in democratic assimilation
rather than armed resistance. The door is fast closing
on a bright future for the country, as the Islamic terrorists
are clearly winning the propaganda war and demoralizing the
patience of both the Americans and the Iraqi Shias.
If
the Sunnis (particularly the majority that is said to support
the terrorists) think that the ouster of Coalition troops in
Iraq means a return to the good old days of Baathist
dictatorship - or, at the very least, something better than
the present - then they're in for a very rude awakening.
What will ensue is a true civil war in a new era in which the
government trades Western-imposed civil restraints for a quick
and brutal victory.
The Shia dictatorship to follow
may or may not be as harsh toward the Sunnis as they were
toward others in their day. But by then it will be too
late. The Sunnis will never be able to regain the one
brief moment when the opportunity for a fair, healthy and
unified Iraq was entirely there for the taking. They
will have squandered their own future by spitefully killing
the very people who made such an opportunity
possible.
And if they think otherwise, the Sunnis will
soon find out that the Democrats do not intend on losing a bit
of sleep over it.
