Austin Bay has been here, done that, as we say in the business.
But to this I say maybe...
Draw another circle around Jan. 30. That's Iraq's first election day. Underline the two weeks prior to Jan. 30. That will be a savage fortnight in which terror campaigns and political campaigns collide. Democratic candidates will be assassinated and polling stations will be blown to bits, as Saddamite and Al Qaeda reactionaries -- the Middle East's ancien regime of tyrant and terrorist -- attempt to force an oppressed people to submit one more time to the yoke of fear.
...maybe not.
Something will certainly go boom, of that I'm sure. Stay tuned.
That's not the key point of his piece, by the way. Go read, you'll see. It will be the only storyline elsewhere, of that I also have no doubt.
