There is something like hypocriscy in the notion that the American Red State voters can vote their "religious values" in elections;
Yet, Muslims in the middle east, who Dubya is supposedly "democratizing," can't!
Islamic Parties are very popular all over the middle east and in south Asia;
Yet their ascendancy in those regions is viewed as a threat by Bush & the Neocons.....
Republicans try to push religious values among the American electorate...even to the point of having prayer in schools, and the Ten Commandments displayed inside the court house.
So, why not the Koran inside the courthouse in Baghdad?!
What seems to be happening is a GLOBAL REACTION against the American-Hollywood values of sex, violence and the liberal social mores.
So, in some ways, the Southern and Rural Bubba voter in the US is not that much diffrent from the voters in small villages and towns in Afghanistan or Iraq!
Dubya simply can't have it both ways.....religious values for Americans;
Yet, total secularism and free market capitalism for the rest of the world and especially Muslims!
IF DUBYA'S DEMOCRACY MOVEMENT IN THE MIDDLE EAST RESULTS IN CONSERVATIVE ISLAMIC LAW IN IRAQ, IRAN, AFGHANISTAN AND OTHER PLACES... SO BE IT.
DUBYA MUST REALIZE THAT WHAT IS GOOD FOR FUNDAMENTALIST CHRISTIANS IN THE US;
IS ALSO GOOD FOR FUNDAMENTALIST MUSLIMS IN THE MIDDLE EAST....THERE SIMPLY IS NO OTHER CONCLUSION.
ANY OTHER VIEW IS THE HEIGHT OF HYPOCRISY, AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT....
