Bringing Democracy

Lets walk down memory lane for Democracy's sake......


(from 2002)

Iraqi officials say President Saddam Hussein has won 100% backing in a referendum on whether he should rule for another seven years.

There were 11,445,638 eligible voters - and every one of them voted for the president, according to Izzat Ibrahim, Vice-Chairman of Iraq's Revolutionary Command Council
Saddam Hussein - who has ruled Iraq since 1979 - was the only candidate.
Voters had been urged to show their support for the Iraqi leader in defiance of the demands for military action against him from the US and Britain. During polling, many voters trampled American flags and some signed their ballot-papers in their own blood in a display of loyalty to their leader.

( And the next year they were waving U.S.flags?)
(from 2003)
Picture after picture is coming out of Iraq showing how happy the people are to be freed by our soldiers. They are giving the 'thumbs up' sign, even waving small American flags, smiling and cheering. If it were up to people like you, they would have to suffer for God knows how long under Saddam."

And look what's happening now in Iraq.

from the May 27, 2006 article:

"prompted the governor of Baghdad to announce a halt in cooperation with the American authorities, and Shiite militiamen to brandish their weapons in the streets of eastern Baghdad and declare their readiness to retaliate against American troops."


It's like a bad marriage......whats next for USA and Iraq.........divorce? or second honeymoon?
