The gates of hell are open in Iraq
http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,3604,1449864,00.html


Anyone want to step in front of the class and tell us about the US spreading democracy?

We'd love to hear it.


<snippit>
The US-British occupation of Iraq is poisoning all political processes in my country and across the Middle East. <b>The elections held under the control of the occupying forces in January were neither free nor fair.</b> Instead of being a step towards solving Iraq's problems, <b>they have been used to prolong foreign rule over the Iraqi people.</b>

Only when the occupiers withdraw from the country can Iraq take the first secure steps towards peace and stability. Once a strict timetable for withdrawal is set, Iraq's political forces could freely agree and set in motion a process of genuinely free and fair democratic elections, a permanent constitution, and a programme that meets the demands of all the Iraqi people.
