So much for "bringing democracy to Iraq."
Dubya's occupation army has brought what might (after his own election) be called "American-style democracy" by halting elections in Iraqi cities and towns and appointing puppets, mainly brutal thugs from the old Iraqi army.
This local reaction sounds reasonable enough to me:
"They give us a general," said Bahith Sattar, a biology teacher and tribal leader in Samarra who was a candidate for mayor until that election was canceled last week. "What does that tell you, eh? First of all, an Iraqi general? They lost the last three wars! They're not even good generals. And they know nothing about running a city."
With the escalating series of attacks on Americans and British and the lies about "weapons of mass destruction" quickly unravelling, the prospects of a long-burning guerilla war in Iraq become more and more likely. Thank the "neo-cons" when this ends in disaster.
