You know what election I'd like to see in Iraq?
Do you want all US troops and interests to go home?

Yes ____

No ____



We will never see that election. Bush et al would never allow that.

Why do Bush and Co. have any say about what can be on a ballot in Iraq? I thought they were free? (/sarcasm)

2. They might do it in some form of a push poll
like, "Considering your improved way of life and the excellent leadership of the United States, and the fact that there is a CIA officer standing directly behind you, isn't it a little extreme to want the US to leave?"


YES__________________________________________








no_

5. Mmhmm.
That would be like the Nazis holding an election for the Poles.

It'd be a nice, effecient way to round up a bunch of people.

6. Good point
Of course the US would have secret ballots, so I'm sure they'd be safe. . . (/sarcasm again)
