War on Democracy

This is interesting.

Militant leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has reportedly declared war on next Sunday's election in Iraq.

An audiotape on an Islamist website purportedly voiced by the Jordanian-born militant calls on Sunni Muslims to fight against the vote.

"We have declared a bitter war against the principle of democracy and all those who seek to enact it," the speaker says.

A few weeks ago, Usama bin Laden released a similar message condemning the elections in Iraq. Now, let me run this simple concept by you. If bin Laden and al-Zarqawi thought that giving the Iraqi people, and all other Muslims, freedom, self-determination, and democracy would result in those people supporting them and subscribing to their ideas and beliefs, and emulating their lifestyle, do you think that they'd support or condemn free elections? The answer, of course, is that the Islamofascist terrorists know for a fact that the people of these countries, under a free and democratic society, would see them for the infidel terrorists they are.

Afghanistan went from the Taleban to a free and democratic society in less than three years. The Palestinians just voted without incident, and because Mahmoud Abbas is working with the Israelis, there is a legitimate hope for peace, stability, and prosperity. The Iranians are climbing the walls at what they perceive to be President Bush's inaugural promise to give them freedom, and the mullahs are confused to the point of Kerry-esque flip-flopping.

The Iraqi elections will happen next week, and the world will never be the same.
