The Patriot Files Forums - Iraqi Elections -

THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING!

With the elections in Iraq now history, all that remains to be seen at this point is: "If one panacea-pill alone will cure all that ails this region in turmoil?"

Granted, this election is a huge step in the right direction, but like any election (anywhere on Earth), not all may be willing to accept or abide by the results - for if they do, it will be a first! An injection of pure democracy into the veins of a (former) despotism, after all, could (?) be like injecting the wrong blood type into a hospital patient. This procedure has been known to have an adverse effect! So who, at this point, can really say for sure!?

The whole world is waiting to see what kicks lose in Iraq, and for the sake of that world, I truly hope that peace and democracy (or a sort) will reign supreme within that region? However, with neighbors like Syria and Iran around to stir the caldron, we may find ourselves (unfortunately) quelling one ?Middle Eastern Culture of Violence? after another?

?Again, we shall just have to wait and see - what we shall see!??

VERITAS & DEMOCRACY TOO, I HOPE!
