Expansion, Year Five:

...the economy enters its fifth year of expansion this November...

Fiscal policy, in the form of the Bush tax cuts, has been stimulative.

The GWB tax cuts worked.

Iraqi Constitutional Vote: Game Over—We Win

Sunnis Attack Their Own Over Iraq Constitution:

BAGHDAD, Iraq — Sunni insurgents determined to derail this weekend's constitutional referendum attacked the largest Sunni Arab political party Friday, bombing and burning offices and the home of one of its leaders after the group dropped its opposition to the draft charter. 

The largest Sunni Arab political party has dropped its opposition to the draft Constitution. This appears to make it probable that the draft will pass in tomorrow's election.

And with the insurgents targeting other Sunnis, it appears that popular support for those insurgents among those Sunnis may be at risk.

If the Constitution passes, it will be a huge advance for Muslims and the Mid-East, demonstrating acceptance of Democracy. It will also be a historic achievement for GWB and the U.S., in bringing Democracy to the Mid-East.

Recap of Recent Posts on Islam, and Some Additional Conclusions

Let's do a recap of the two most recent posts, and make a few additional observations. First, the recap:

1. The Koran instructs Muslims to force all those of other religions to become second-class citizens or convert to Islam.
2. Muslims have been carrying these instructions out religiously for over 1300 years, waging violent war upon violent war upon nation after nation, and have converted Egypt, Syria, North Africa and Iran from Christian to Muslim, destroying the language of Egyptian in the process.  

Now, the additional observations:

1. No other people, nation, or religion on Earth has consistently made war on its neighbors for the purposes of conquest and/or religious conversion for anything remotely resembling 1300 years.
2. We'd have to be kidding ourselves to think that Muslims aren't still doing the same thing today.
