Usama bin Laden's recent call for Iraqis to boycott the upcoming elections in January provides further reason to insure that those elections are held on schedule. Usama's desperate plea reiterates the fact that his way of terror cannot survive in a democratic Middle East, and he knows it. Terrorism can prosper because it profits off of the poverty, oppression, and hopelessness that exists in the region. When you remove all that with freedom, terrorism quickly dies at the root.
The terror in Iraq will only get worse between now and the election, but thanks to the comments from UBL we know that we are winning this war on terror, and that we will win a great victory when Iraqis go to the polls and reject forever that oppression and hopelessness that they have lived through for so long. UBL and his fellow terrorists see this and it terrifies them.
