Please correct me if I am wrong and help me understand this.

Let me understand this...we are bringing democracy to Iraq where, at this point, in the coming election many candidates are unknown, the polling places are unknown and the political platforms are unknown?

1. Look at it this way

They're going to get a democracy every bit as good as ours.

3. Classic.

Well said.

5. It sure was. Short and to the point. "Democracy" in Iraq is BS....

...and "Democracy" in the US is BULLSHIT too.

4. ba-ZING!

Excellent, wryter! :thumbsup:

7. Damn! Out of the park!

2. This is going to be a short thread because....

111 political PARTIES.
You don't know who they are until you see the ballot.
If there's a KOTA* party, I predict a sweeping victory for them.

13. Nice bumpersticker but perhaps....

This flag might be better?

[greyfox]

8. Yes...

9. Gosh, sounds like the last US election! Clearly the republicans are IN

11. From stealth bombers...

... to stealth elections. It's a natural progression. :P

[Liberal In Texas]

15. Not only that

But there aren't actually people trained to work those polls, count the votes, etc. So far the organizations handling this have gotten about 10K trained and prepared -- they need 150K.

[Ilsa]

17. Furthermore, they've been warned

that polling places will be attacked. Election officials are being killed regularly also. I wonder if * will tell them to "Bring it on." Ah yes, we brought democracy to Iraq.

[seabeyond]

18. and we are not suppose to put any stock in who gets to vote

if anyone can vote and how legal and non corrupt the vote is

we are suppose to focus on the fact there was an election regardless how bad it all was

and then we are suppose to feel proud of all we accomplished in iraq bringing them democracy

they have laid out exactly what we are suppose to think adn our conclusion
