Democracy

Today the eleven million eligible voters in IRAQ will reinstate Saddam Hussein for another seven years in their model of "democracy". There is no other candidate to choose from and lets face it any group (such as the Kurds) who wold not vote for Saddam are not eligible to vote.

As if i'ts not half obvious that this is not democracy and Saddam Hussein has and will never be democratically elected.

But this reminded me of another election where there was skullduggery and intrigue. The self declared winner is the son of a former leader who is also the ex head of the country's seceret police. The new leader didn't get the majority of the votes in the "democratic election", but still won the election. In one area of the country, votes were not counted even though the votes that were counted showed a lead of a few hundred, much less than the margin of error in the voting process, and the winner's brother was the leader of this area of the country.

We already know that this election was the last American election which resulted in George Bush's elevation to President. So how can Bush now attack the non democratic elections in Iraq with any moral upper hand? Read the great Coup d'Etat in a Pitiful Third-World Country
