The First Democratic Election in The History of the Arab World Was A Success!!!

(1/7) > >>

Real American:
Much to the dismay of people like Ant, Tech, and Lost Angel.....the people of Iraq rejected terror and went to the polls for the first national democratic elections in the history of the Arab world. What a glorious and historic day, and it is all because of the efforts of President Bush and the United States, Great Britian, Australia, Poland, and all the other members of the coalition of the willing.

Think about the impact this will have on the rest of the Middle East. There is now going to be tremendous pressure on all of the corrupt dictatorship regimes that make up the other Arab governments to make democratic reforms. This election could be the spark that will bring freedom and democracy to hundreds of millions of Arabs in that part of the world.

Move over Germany, France, Japan, South Korea, Poland, and Afghanistan....there is now another country that owes its freedom and democracy directly to the United States: Iraq! God bless America.

white Boy:
Yea props, i read there was a great turnout.. a lot more people then they expected

Lincoln:
The first? Was Afganistan considered unsuccessful?

Congrats to Iraq though, I hope to God things work out there.

Rampant:
to be honest with you i was surprised that the voter turnout was high. I expect lots of bombings and scared citizens not voting, however voter turnout was high. Hopefully things will start to look up for them

Dismay of Lost Angel?

Homeboy, I hope for the best of the Iraqi people. I pray for the best. I am all for any improvements in Iraq. What I'm not for is us sticking our nose into business that's not ours, and lying to get into that business. If Iraq has elections, great for them. If it continues, even better, they'd beat the odds as most forced democracies fall, and Iraq will join Japan as a democracy forced by war to actually survive. I hope they do end up like Japan and show as a model for Arabic countries on how to run a democracy. That would be great. Iraq having free elections is not my thing, it's us putting ourself in huge debt and making up lies to handle all of this. If it was a straight forward liberation mission, then I would not be as mad, but instead it was a straight lie.

I hope the Iraqi democracy works, I also hope our government is not doing this for evil. I said, Bush doing evil
