Democrat Party Election Success Translates Into Increased Violence In Iraq
Wednesday, November 29th, 2006The sectarian violence in Iraq is increasing prompting some to call it a civil war. Call it what you want, but there are two root causes contributing to the increase.
1. Since the mid-term election, the insurgents know they can influence American politics, and have set their sights on the 2008 election.
2. Now that the Democratics have won power and Bush is listening to them, American policy is ambiguous at best. The question of the US military’s exit from Iraq has become a question of when, rather than if.
With this anticipated vacuum of power, the various factions in Iraq are jockeying for position in the wake of what they see as an imminent American withdrawal.
The Democratics have an opportunity to quell the violence by backing President Bush with a commitment to America’s success in Iraq.
