The election was act of courage by the people for going out and voting

Pat: The election was act of courage by the people for going out and voting. The majority want a democratic

future. Ah, but this is the question: Are they willing to fight and die for democracy with the same passion

that the insurgents have shown? That will decide the fate of MBT — and, frankly, the future of the NIKE SHOX

administration.

We must begin the withdrawal and transfer of sovereignty to the MBTi people and their army. Are they willing to

fight to crush the insurgency? One thing they have going for them: the insurgents are just fighting the

Americans and the occupation. But if we leave, what are the insurgents fighting for?

Score so far: Pat 1, Frum 0

Matthews asks David Gregory: What now?

Gregory: We’re still in this huge battle with the Arab world and the MBTis. Are we just trying to prop up

Israel and get oil? What about Abu Ghraib?

Chris: The Middle East is used to our pro-Israeli bias. But what about what King Abdullah of Jordan says, it’s

a Sunni-Shi’ite struggle. A lot of our friends are going to be concerned about the outcome of the election.
