"Why don't they let the Iraqis elect themselves? This will be good for Iraq. This will be good for America," he said. "Maybe they're afraid that people who aren't puppets will be elected."

That article raises some good questions. So far the administration has not backed up it's promise to 'liberate' the people of Iraq. Only a transfer of oppressive power has occured. They are supressing the Iraq's right to representation in their own country.

Broken promise: Why I quit Iraq

The last decision the "Iraqis" made was to let Saddam take over.

I guess it is time to disband all the city councils and let anarchy rule. With any luck the Baath party will make a comeback..

You really think the Iraqi's can "police" themselves? Look at the anarchy and mayhem that went on when they were liberated! Are Iraqi's generally good people? I would like to think so but my faith in humanity has taken a step backward.

We know what's best for them. We're not spending 4 billion a month so they can elect whoever they want. We went there to make sure thay get democracy.

Yep, they got a great democracy. The Iraqi population has one vote, while Bush, Cheney, Rumsfled, Wolfowitz all get one vote each. To show how widely accepted our policies are in Iraq, the votes are almost always a landslide 4 to 1 decision.

As long as Jeb is in charge of the vote count, they'll be all set.

Yes i know. We go into the countries that dont want us (Iraq). And stay out of the countries who do (Liberia).
