The casualties in Iraq are piling up and show that there is much conflict. As time goes on and the death toll increases, one must wonder if the war effort in Iraq is pointless. Good post, I find this to be one of the more interesting and important issues that are taking place in our world today. This also relates to our paper that we just completed, for within our paper we had to talk about whether Islam and democracy can work together.

Clearly, the region is experiencing mass casualties and is still far from stable. If Fish's notion that Islam is incompatible with democracy is indeed true, then it is impossible to bring democracy to a country such as Iraq. The ideals of Islam and the Ideals of Islam simply are not cohesive. The war effort in Iraq is essentially pointless. Many feel that the fallen soldiers and mass bloodshed, must be justified by completing the task of securing Iraq's government. Unfortunately, this may never be a possibility.
