Now Newsweek Hyping Iraqi Democracy and Success

You and I both know deep down that at SOME point in the coming years....your gonna have to admit that Iraq is much better off.

[quote=Islandborn]America has been a democracy for how much longer than Iraq?? Our elections look almost exactly the same.....minus the sand and drugged kids blowing themselves up cause daddy is a uneducated islamoconservative..../QUOTE]

Yes, fraud is rampant in their election now, just like it is in ours or was in 2000 and 2004. We just have Christian Conservatives who want to tell everybody what to do. Not far off from a type of Taliban.

If you want to know more about tribal people, read an anthropology book. Tribal ties are just as strong and tight as family ties. You don't take what I say but you will find the same things in a book. :stoned

What convinces you that we are the greatest thing since sliced bread???? We don't even have politicians of any party that actually support and do things in promoting the GENERAL WELFARE, but they do assure the corporate welfare even when they ship jobs from the US to overseas. :pimp:

The barely visible democracy in Iraq wont look anything like what we have here or anywhere else for that matter, but it sure is better than a murderous dicatator who mocked and punked the UN for 20 years, killing MILLIONS of his own peoples and "tribe"......used Sarin gas on the Kurds in the North, raped hundreds of thousands of women in Kuwait, and threw people off tall buildings for execution. If i wouldnt get in trouble Id post videos taken by the republican gaurd of their exploits.

This just in, and its from Iraq about mass graves post Bush's invasion. The only question is are they the result of sectarian violence, or those buried and not counted as war dead from the bombings during the war.

first we had that little "whiff of fascism" down in Florida then the computerized "voting machines" bs in Ohio, then Afgan and then Iran. The only recent election that hasn't had someone calling fraud was Obama's. (except for the all the people who think he was non eligible to run .. )

I have no point to any of this I just wanted a chance to say "whiff of fascism" once again. :rastasmoke:

what i find truly amazing here is how iraq who under the saddam regime was such a hell hole we had to go and bring democracy to them but it was us and the brits that put saddam in power. lets not forget who created this monster. so is it that we gave them democracy or is it that we finally corrected our mistake? from my point of view we corrected a mistake.

iraq is like a woman with 2 black eyes that keeps goin back to an abusive lover. if the people aint learned their lesson about freedom and keep lettin others abuse them, oh fuckin well.

and these "demorcratic elections" if you truly beleive that they are on the up and up then maybe the people actually loved saddam and thet is the reason they never took up arms against the regime. i myself beleive that they are as about as honest as the iranian elections. or as honest as the US will let them be.

oh and before you say im a liberal hater let me say this screw the liberals and the conservatives let me live as i want to live.
