Stumble It!
The dream is fading fast.
Wednesday, July 26, 2006 -- J. Grant Swank, Jr.
Blood will flow like rivers. That's the opposite of what Operation Iraqi Freedom dreamt of. We had hopes of Iraqis coming out of their fear caves constructed under the palaces of Saddam Hussein.
We had prayed for their personal liberties, their cheers at election booths, their championing a constitution guaranteeing civility long hungered for.Now those dreams are fading quickly.
In their place, we are forced with facts.
Muslims don't really know what civility is, let alone what democracy means.
There are of course some that do. But they are silenced in the shadows because of the bellicose bloodthirsty.The years have shackled once-children into mental cages of rifle toting and sword thrust.
They call themselves, not Iraqis, but Shiite Arabs or Sunni Arabs or Kurds but not united Iraqis. They never will.
Their animosities are so long-standing and so deep.Furthermore, go figure how long it takes to organize a local committee for constructing a peaceful neighborhood.
Now compare how much time and energy it takes to blow up that neighborhood in the middle of a sunlit afternoon. In addition, to the bloodthirsty it is much more of a thrill to see a neighborhood blown to smithereens than it is to show up for a committee meeting to elect neighborhood do-gooders.In America we have committees coming out of our ears.
We have commissions and goodwill clubs, civic organizations and help agencies. That is because we have a history of that. We also have a Judeo-Christian heritage that has taught us to love our neighbors as ourselves. We are not always good at doing that; but we still have that moral base. It's there. And it comes to the fore often to assist those stricken with calamity - not only in the US but also around the world.
However, in the Muslim country children are reared, not on community building, but on waking up in the morning to see a teen girl strung up to a gallows where the judge is going to tie her neck dry till her kicking legs become still. Boys and girls wander back to their houses with that impressed upon their minds forever.
The law has been seen through.
