Why Terrorism Must Win
Whose side are you on?
After all the whining about illegal wars in Iraq, about the neo-con agenda, about 100,000 dead Iraqi civilians, about 911 being brought about by American hegemony, about “it’s all about oil”, about WMD, about Oil for Food child victims, about war mongering, about enriched uranium bullet poisoned children, about “little Eichmanns”, about US war dead, about American atrocities, and Haliburton, the left has yelped itself into a corner.
Imagine if you will, that three to seven years from now Iraq is a relatively stable and functioning democracy. Imagine that terrorist acts in that country have ceased, or are at least so rare that they actually are “news” when they occur. Imagine an Iraqi economy open for business, with the infrastructure largely recovered and schools and universities filled with both genders. The Iraqi Dinar climbs to Saddam era levels, and Iraqi ex-pats by the thousands visit there homeland unafraid. Imagine an Iraq balancing successfully on the tightrope between a secular and Islamic state, where even the bitter Sunnis join in the building of a new country. In otherwords, imagine every freedom loving person's dream for Iraq coming true.
Now consider today’s leftwing talking points in that context. Suddenly the pro-UN-anti-American rants will seem empty, the WMD complaints vapid, and the “freedom fighter” terminology of socialist media nothing but Utopian rhetoric gone bad. And, worst of all, the apologetics for terrorism in Iraq, as now practiced by the left, will seem like shriveled raisins in the heat of day.
From the point of view of the left, (union hacks, Euro-elite, mini-Moore extremists, MSM elitists, socialist utopians, KOS kids, and progressives) Iraq MUST FAIL. In order to be proven correct, in order to save their ideology, in order to put America in her place, Iraq as a country must not succeed, and terrorism must win in Iraq. If terrorism wanes and falls to a background threat, then the neo-cons, and the pragmatic leaders like prime ministers Blair and Howard, and G. W. Bush, and the coalition partners, will have been proven right. And, the doomsday preachings of the left will have been all for naught, not to mention that the religion of the United Nations will have taken a hit.
If it sometimes sounds as if the left is rooting for the terrorists of Iraq and Afghanistan, and the bombers of subways and buses; well they are. They must, simply because their strident postulating has painted them into the most ridiculous corner any political entity has found itself in for a long time. After engaging in some of the most bombasteous rhetoric in decades, the left has carved out positions on the political battlefield that are becoming nearly impossible to back out of. Astute ideologists always leave a way out, a back door as it were, but somebody forgot to explain that to the Socialists.
Coalition forces in Iraq and even Afghanistan are, by extension, enemies of the socialist cause. They stand between American, Canadian, and European "progressives" and their dreams of a Shangri-La headed by the United Nations. If you are a believer of the "UN Supremacy" credo, then Coalition forces must not win.
So it is, that for “progressives” the terrorists must prevail if their utopian dogma is to be preserved intact. The Left's "One World Under the UN" credo, must be defended even at the cost of Iraq failing. Ironically, behind the feigned leftist pitty for child victims of the Iraq and Afghan conflicts, is hidden delight every time terrorists succeed. If you thought it was your imagination, it wasn’t; and now you know why.
