Fighting in the
Iraqi holy city of Karbala has forced officials to order a
million pilgrims to leave the city. While it's easy to write
that off as just another instance of Iraqi's fighting
Americans, or Al-Qaeda fighting Iraqi's, or Muslims fighting
Christians or Sunni's fighting Shiite's; the Real Story is
that Karbala has been evacuated because radical Shiites are
fighting other radical Shiites.
What so many people don't understand about radical Islam is
that some these people are on a mission to annihilate
everyone who doesn't agree with them. Not just Christians or
Jews; not just Europeans or Westerners; but everyone --
including other Muslims from their own sect who aren't
radical enough.
If you want a taste of what Iraq would look like if we
leave, Karbala is it; and the conductor who would happily
orchestrate the killing fields once we're gone will be
Iranian president Ahmadinejad, who this week decided to
finally be honest about his intentions, if only people would
pay attention: "The political power of the occupiers is
collapsing rapidly. Soon, we will see a huge power vacuum in
the region. Of course, we are prepared to fill the gap."
If you take this man at his word -- and call me crazy, but I
do -- then you understand that he's telling us exactly what
will happen if we leave Iraq. Fortunately, I believe that
President Bush does take this nut-job at his word, which is
probably why you heard him come out with uncommonly strong
language this week.
In a speech to veterans, Mr. Bush said that if Iran obtains
nuclear weapons the entire region would be under the threat
of a "nuclear holocaust." And while that line got all of the
headlines, it was what he said next that was most important:
"we will confront this danger before it is too late."
My translation? "Iran will be stopped, one way or another,
before Bush leaves office." As every democrat already knows,
that's just 489 days and counting.
