- - - - - Iraqi Elections - - - - -
Hmmmm.....
It would appear that some of the Arab nations are a little dubious about Iraqi elections. See the article HERE.
Iraq had somewhat upstaged a major international conference in Egypt on its future by announcing the date for the first post-Saddam Hussein elections a day before the meeting opened.
But not everyone was impressed by its confidence.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit, hosting the conference in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh said the meeting would be deciding whether the vote could be held on time, adding that "the question needs to be re-examined". |
Commentary from OWW
So, you oh-so-democratic Arab states, who asked you? When was the last time YOU held real, live, honest to Allah elections? The Iraqi government would be perfectly justified in telling you to "Bite me! We're going to run this OUR way. Now go away!"
