Middle East Left Turns Right

This is an interesting turn of events, as the Left in the region leaves ideology behind to defeat the terrorists. From Arab News:

In Iraq, the two Communist parties, along with the Social Democrats and other center-left groups, supported the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, and continue to play a significant role in shaping the new pluralist system.
In Lebanon, Walid Jumblatt’s Progressive Socialist Party (PSP) is at the heart of the democratic movement against the Islamic republic’s attempt to dominate the country through Hezbollah...In Iran, virtually the whole of the left rejects President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s anti-Americanism, and calls for normalization with the United States...

However, perhaps the most interesting new anti-jihadist alliance is taking shape in Afghanistan.

Read the rest. If only the American Left could turn from Bush Bias, blatantly exposed during Speaker Nancy Pelosi's recent Middle East blunders, and return to common sense. Namely, we are faced with a new menace to Civilisation, and it ain't the President.
