| The war against the insurgency in Iraq is continuing. Violence, intimidation, killing of innocents and coalition soldiers goes on with ups and downs, but the civil war that Al Zarqawi so much desires does not seem to be on the cards. What must be worrying the al Queda leaders at the moment is the constitutional process reaching its result (however imperfect) in August and the following December elections; this will not stop the violence (in fact it might increase it), but each event will be another nail in the coffin of terrorism in general. Strangely enough, it has been the terrorists and their senseless massacres to show the whole world (more than Bush speeches) the importance of a democratic Iraq and its importance for the entire Middle East. Terrorists will now have to go for broke (a recent rumor gives Bin Laden on the march toward Iraq) and hope, at best, for a continued âresistanceâ, with the undesired side effect of keeping the coalition forces in Iraq indefinitely. Even if the terrorists enjoy some support from disgruntled Sunnis and Saddamites, they have completely alienated the population and must realize that this is no way to lead a successful insurgency. Furthermore, they live under the constant threat that the foreign support they receive could cease abruptly; Syria and/or Iran might abandon them to their destiny if, because of increased pressure from the US or a perceived advantage, it would fit their agendas. Another big mistake was letting the attacks in the London tube to be carried out; if the terroristsâ leaders thought they could bend the UK like Spain, they grossly miscalculated. In fact, the reaction of Mr. Blair was almost of relief; it was high time â and now I can do it, he seemed to be thinking â to pass legislation that would effectively protect the country and do away with misconceived multiculturalist approaches to integration. In addition, Europe seems to have been waiting for exactly this move by Blair, and France, Italy and Germany are speedily catching up. Undoubtedly more blood will be shed and more innocent people will suffer because of these maniacs and their perverse ideology but, contrary to current opinion that equals terrorists to âevil geniusesâ, it would appear that they have an uncanny tendency to shoot themselves in the foot. |
