Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

The lines tell a different story

Donald Lambro:

Images of Sunni women registering for next month's constitutional referendum spoke volumes about the likely outcome of Iraq's march toward democratic self-government.
While the news here about completion of Iraq's draft constitution has emphasized Sunni opposition to some provisions, principally its federalism, the lines seeking to register for the Oct. 15 vote on this historic document tell a different story: Iraqis -- Shi'ites and Sunnis alike -- eager to approve the next step in what Iraqi President Jalal Talabani calls the struggle "for democracy and freedom."
Photos beamed round the world last week of head-covered Sunni women in registration lines, in a Sunni mosque no less, sent an inspiring signal of their eagerness to vote on the new document, even as negotiations were at risk of breaking down.

Clearly we are winning the political battle against the terrorists in Iraq. They have sown a path of death, destruction and fear across the country, but have been unable to slow or derail the democratic process. The last provisional election proved that, and the Oct. 15 referendum will further underscore their inability to defeat Iraq's democratic movement.
Terrorist thug Abu Musab Zarqawi has vowed to kill any Sunni who votes for the Constitution. But the force of freedom is much more powerful than Zarqawi's threats. There are several thousand mostly foreign-born terrorists in Iraq, but there are 25 million Iraqis citizens who want to be free. The odds are stacked against the insurgents.

Zarqawi is threatening genocide and the left either does not care or thinks it is Bush's fault.
