Sure I'll spell it out...

War on terrorism = War on Islamic Fundamentalism. Few want to spell it out for what it really is. "Terrorism" is really an undefined term...rarely clarified.


The Christian fundamentalists going after their Islamic counterparts. Its why I don't like fundamentalists.

When it's spelled out is easier to see where Iraq fits in.
Democratize Iraq and a stake is driven right in the middle of it. Afghanistan as well. Iran might follow if it done right.


You will get democracy in Afghanistan before you get it in either Iraq or Iran.

The key is getting Iraqis hungry enough to want democracy.
Take South Viet Nam. They didn't want it bad enough and remain under communism today.


The key is for the US getting out.
