Iraqi Democracy Inspires Iran
Brent Tantillo • June 22, 2009 • Uncategorized
What’s happening in Iran is amazing, and there’s no doubt that a light of liberty has been lit in the Middle East by the formation of a democracy in Iraq. This of course was what President George W. Bush always believed, and although it took time, it’s working. Much has been made of the fact that Iran and Iraq are both majority Shiite, and this is an important fact in relation to what is happening in Iran. As Iranians made their annual pilgrammages to Karbala and Najaf, they saw their fellow Shiites governing themselves. While the democracy in Iraq is imperfect, it’s still a democracy, where the elections aren’t rigged, human rights aren’t violated, and rule of law is established. Iranians are fed-up with their country’s lunatic leadership, as best exemplified by the “re-election” of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the madman who embarrasses a once mighty and great nation with his ridiculous outbursts about the Holocaust, Israel, and threats to America.
