MAKING IRAQ AN ISLAMIC REPUBLIC LIKE IRAN – Step 1

I have long advised of the impossibility of establishing a true democratic government
in Iraq, no matter how noble the motivation behind such an attempt.
I assure you, that after all is said and done, and the American troops are pulled out, Iraq will become an Islamic Republic like Iran.
I was totally in favor of invading Iraq for the purpose of getting rid of the butcher Saddam Hussein and, having done so, in getting out as soon as we caught or killed him. But I have never been in favor of attempting to form any type of democratic government in Iraq.
The quicker we get out the better.
The action taken by the Shiite Militias in southern Iraq are Step 1 in a process that will eventually lead to most of Iraq being transformed into an Islamic Republic like its Shiite neighbor Iran. The current action and plann ing by the Shiites, as outl
ined
in the following report from the DEBKAfile reports, mark the beginning of a process that will result in a Shiite takeover of most of Iraq.
I assure you that Iraq will not become a democracy for very long, if at all, and will be one of the 10 toes of Daniel 2, as well as one of the 10 horns of Daniel 7 and Revelation 13 & 17.

DEBKAfile reports: Shiite Militias Secure K arb
ala Pilgrimage after Sunni-al-Qaeda Massacres
September 19, 2005
All the pilgrims’ routes to the Shiite shrine town of Karbala south of Baghdad have been secured by Shiite militias, in a show of sectarian muscle unprecedented hitherto in Iraq. Tuesday, Sept. 20, hundreds of thousands of Shiites will converge on Karbala for celebrations marking the birthday anniversary of the Imam Mahdi.
Rather than relying on Iraqi national forces, the Badr and “Wolves” Brigades, the militias of prime minister Ibrahim Jaafari’s Dawa party and even renegade Moqtada Sadr’s Mehdi Army, have joined forces to guard the routes to the city and the event.
Last week, al Qaeda declared all-out war on Iraq’s Shiites. In recent weeks, hundreds have been slaughtered in terrorist attacks.
The Shiite militia deployment is an Iraqi milestone for three reasons:
1. They are all operating for the first time under a unified command, a tipping point in the evolution of a Shiite national army.
2. US and Iraqi national forces are leaving the Shiite militias a clear field, an indirect form of acceptance
of evolving Shiite autonomous government.
3. Should Abu Musab al Zarqawi send his car bombers against the pilgrims, as he has in the past, the Shiite militias are poised to storm Sunni regions in the vicinity and exact vengeance.
This would take Iraq a step closer to civil war.
