IDIOT DAY AT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Saddam Hussein's former U.N. envoy accused the United States of deliberately sowing chaos in Iraq to prevent democracy from taking hold.

In interviews with The Associated Press on Saturday and Monday, former Iraqi U.N. envoy Mohammed al-Douri denounced a U.S. plan to create an appointed legislative body in Iraq and demanded free, direct elections instead.

He accused the United States of creating chaos in occupied Iraq as an excuse to avoid direct elections of a new government because that vote could lead to the United States losing control of Iraq's oil wealth and strategic location.

Briefly:

a. We wouldn't even be talking about democracy in Iraq without the intervention of the USA...Idiot.

b. If you know so much about demanding direct elections then explain please how your last leader was in power for 30 years and the only "election" ever held found him with a remarkable 100% of the vote, Idiot.

c. Do you think you might want to have a constitution in place so the folks you elect might have some idea just what standard you will hold them to, Idiot?

d. Or would you prefer that 25 million folks who don't have a clue about government by consent of the governed just jump in and elect the same Islamofascists who are currently murdering sellers of alcohol and attempting to stuff women back into ignorance according to the models that have worked to swimmingly for your Arab bleedin' neighbors, Idiot?
