Iraqi leaders are promoting all of this resistance to protect their own spheres of influence. The Iraqi leaders are pissed because of the undertainty of their new position within the new government. They will lose the right to accept bribes and other financial incentives. Oil vouchers will not be easy to come buy. How are terrorists supposed to react when your religious leaders tell you they will give you $1 million to your poor family if you strap a bomb to your chest and blow up a bus, hospital, school, or whatever target they assign? You take on values in a hurry that mean nothing to you at the end of the war. The majority of the Iraqi people will support the new form of government once this war is over. The only reason they show support for the current leaders like al Zarqawi is they are following the money trail. They go to lunch, fire a couple of RPG's at the Iraqi troops to make a few extra bucks. Basically, the whole web of sinsister Islamic leadership is imminently doomed. Did anyone hear Rumsfeld the other night? He specifically mentioned the fact that the leaders did not like the idea of being part of the new democracy. They don't want to play by the rules. "Well, tough" he said. Leaders will now be accountable for their actions, and they are scared shitless they will not be able to play this neo-military facade of state sanctioned terrorism financed by oil vouchers, favoritism, and other medieval power politics. The conclusion of the war will put an ultimate end to this Islamic butchery. The motive today is the same as it was for the Barbary Pirates - the Islamic warriors are out butchering innocent people, kidnapping and beheading foreigners, plundering whatever economic resources they can get their hands on. The Islamics think they have a very easy enemy to attack. Our multicultural respect for "all people" leads us down the moral pathway of enlightment. As Christians and Jews, most people in our society believe in the path of righteousness. However, they fail to realize the audacity of our military institutions protect us from our religious values. I believe the main reason why our forefathers separated the institution of Church and State was to protect us from our religious piety. A non-relegious state can act in the reality of the legal, amoral world of military self interest.
