Democracy sucks when the wrong people get elected: Iraq
January 31st, 2006
An important article by Gareth Porter [US Realignment With Sunnis Is Far Advanced] points out that the US is now maneuvering with Sunni resistance forces to undercut the power of the elected Shia majority. As a result, many Shia believe the US wants to bring back the Ba’ath state.
Meanwhile, the US is allegedly shifting to a “hearts and minds” strategy [New U.S. Commander to Change Iraq Focus]. I guess they hope at least a few Iraqis will support permanent occupation.
