What can I said, how democratic can Iraq be if their candidates for election are US approved and not Iraqi, I don't see it, Iraq belongs to the Iraqi
people not to the bush or the poppet PM Iraq has now "US FDA" approved.
What US is going to do? reject any other candidate because opposed the occupation? How about the Iraqi people what do they want has anybody taken them
into consideration?
I think that the coming elections in Iraq are going to be a joke and the people is going to oppose them and whoever becomes the next PM, and we all
know who US wants.
If the peopel of Iraq wants Al-Sadr well that is their choice, no ours.
What exactly are you talking about? Little will change if Kerry gets elected. The ideas he's suggested so far for the war in Iraq and the "war on
terror" sound almost exactly like what Bush is doing right now. The expansion of the U.S. and western culture has little to do with who our president
is, and has everything to with with us being the world's only hyper-power.
We are going to do what is in our and our allies' best interest. Historically, this is the way that civilization works. You may think that it's
evil, but compare us to some of your other super-power options... I wonder what you'd be saying right now if say... the U.S. had lost the Cold War.
Wait!... that's right, you probably wouldn't be saying anything at all! You'd be too afraid to express your opinions because the Soviet Union would
be the ones spreading their influence across the globe and in that reality, expressing one's opinions might be hazardous to the health lol. I don't
think I even need to comment on what the world would be like if the Allies had lost WWII.
Any other country were in our position would probably behave in a worse manner. France, Britain, Spain, Russia, China and many others have a long
history of oppressing other peoples... not just the US. It seems like your problem shouldn't be with the US but with the human race.
On topic... If he gains control of Iraq, so be it. We can just go back in in another ten years and remove him as well lol.
