Little Mr Mahatma

In which the middle-aged Peacenik mouths off about War Drones--and all the other things that make him cranky.

Mr Mahatma--who is a Mr in real life--lives in the valleys of Southern California with his wife, a herd of Dears, and an impressive collection of books. Pnorny!

Lost In Translation
Lost in translation is the concept of Democracy.


Rice, Straw to Iraqis: Form Gov't Quickly
AP

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Secretary of State Rice and British Foreign Secretary Jack 
Straw said Monday that while it is up to the Iraqi people to chose their own 
leaders, the international backers who have spent blood and money to end a 
dictatorship here have a right to expect that it will happen quickly. Neither Rice 
nor Straw pointed to any specific accomplishment from a day and a half spent 
huddling with nearly all of Iraq's squabbling factions. But they said their 
message that Iraq must quickly form a government of national unity got through.

For all the talk of how great Democracy is and how the Iraqis are free to express their Governmental will, this is a case of political interference, showing our true intentions. We spent money and blood for their Government, it better do as we say.

I have a better idea. Since Iraq is having trouble forming their own Government, why don't we give Iraq our Government (Bush et al) while we hold elections. That way, they will gain from our experienced politicos and we will have elections without problems.

Fair deal?
