Read the news on Bush's attempt to rig iraqi elections yet?

Seymour Hersh's article "Voters and Occupiers"

Apparently, washington tried to get iraqis to vote like we do in the USA: that is, they wanted people to limit their voting to a few elite candidates. Unfortunately for them, Iraqis are not swayed by corporate propoganda as much as we are.

2. Gotta make sure and have a pro-U.S. gov't. Can't give them FULL democracy
at least not yet.

Besides, we all know how difficult a word such as "sovereign" is for the mental midget to grasp.

3. Democracy and dethroning of two party-dictatorship in america first...
But it happens in iraq before America! Wonderful...

They resist massive cia campaign of coercion/propoganda, and americans are still deluded to continue to vote in only two directions...

Iraqis = badass
