I think that democracy should be left to the people, but I can see why other countries take an interest in who gets into office and who doesn't. Maybe they are worried about religious fanatics getting in and destabalising the country with sectarian violence. Maybe they find relations better with more liberal politicians who operate on laws independent of religion?

Too bad Canada and Mexico couldn't secretly rig it so that Bush didn't get into office for a second term!

1) Because if the person in control was not an incompetant loser, then Iraq would be stable.

2) Democracy should be left to the people. Any control of the choice of the people is meddling and is NOT understandable. Also, what is so fundamentalist about Jaafari?? Still the Americans do not want him because he is too nationalistic and has spoken of the departure of US troops in the past.

3) Canada and Mexico are weak countries I am sorry to say. Their global weight is next to nil.

Please tell me more about the person in control of Iraq right now - his name and why in particular he is a loser.

I said that democracy should be left to the people. If Canada and Mexico did manage to influence the US election so that Bush lost - I highly doubt you'd be complaining.

By the way, the Canada and Mexico part was a joke

K, you ought to know by now that Libans understanding and appreciation of subtle humour is totally wasted in here.

A true democratic election is based on their being sufficient candidates, from all sides of the political spectrum, willing to stand up and represent the people. The people then choose. If there are no really strong leaders willing to come forward, then whose fault is that?

Maybe the best people to run Iraq efficiently and peacefully are not willing to come forward and be voted for, because they know some fanatic with a few pounds of semtex is going to hoodwink an impressionable follower into blowing himself, a beaten up Toyota, and the candidate into iddy biddy little political pieces?

This is why the law needs to be imposed: to give the right people the chance to actually govern the country themselves.

Yes, but Jedi Knight, there are some people here who will blame the US and UK for that, because didn't you know that they are always behind every killing that happens in Iraq - either directly or indirectly? I mean, semtex is produced in the US and UK, so that is even more damning evidence!

Sorry, couldn't resist some sarcasm.

So true! It seems that a man in Basra gets a cold and its the fault of the US/UK according to some people!

Actually, semtex is made in Czech Republic...but they are not in Iraq, so that's alright then!

PS. Lightsabre has new Duracells now!

May the force be with you.

Burr??

As in those small prickly balls that get stuck on your pants or on the dog after walking in the woods. If you are Canadian how come you haven't heard of "burr up your butt"?

Oh and before I forget... Yes, you are very funny... Yes I am laughing so much right now. Oh please stop, this is just too humorous for me. I am hurting so much I am laughing due to the comical nature of your post.

Tribbles are great Liban.
