Electing Jihad

*
The Bush Administration and the idiots at the US State Department have been pushing “Democracy” and “Elections” as a cure for what ails the Islamic world.

But what if the people of these Islamic shit-holes elect for Jihad? Will the interest of the US and the West be served if the Democracy and Elections that the US is pushing only gives political legitimacy to the Jihadist?

Of course not.

It is too bad that Bush and the State Department have their heads too far up their asses to see that.

In its preference for democratic processes over counter-jihad campaigns in Pakistan, the Bush administration is following a consistent, generic policy template. From the Palestinian Authority to Iraq and Egypt to Lebanon and now to Pakistan, the Bush administration has studiously ignored popular support for jihad and pushed for elections.

In 2005 the Bush administration's near obsession with elections had yet to be tested against reality. But after the elections in Egypt, the PA, Lebanon and Iraq empowered jihadist forces, the pro-election policy was no longer defensible in the context of the fight against jihad. Then too, the policy which the administration has adopted towards the Palestinians - of empowering a society that openly chose to be led by forces of jihad in Hamas - makes little sense.

THE ONLY way to make sense of the Bush administration's advocacy for empowerment of jihadist societies through democratic processes is to see it not as a tool for countering jihad, but rather as a way to ignore jihad and wish away the war.
