B Raman, in the Asia Times;
It is not without significance that almost all countries - even those which were critical of the US-led intervention in Iraq - have been in favor of going ahead with the elections as planned, however unsatisfactory they may turn out to be. The holding of the elections will not turn out to be the end of - or even the beginning of the end - of jihadi activities, but it will demonstrate to the jihadis the determination of the international community not to let jihadi terrorism succeed.Such a demonstration is necessary, whatever the cost of it. It needs to be recalled how India's determination to hold periodic elections in Jammu & Kashmir in the face of an escalation of terrorist violence by Pakistan-supported jihadi terrorist organizations ultimately broke their morale and made Pakistan amenable to reason.
