The Iraqis have surrendered to Bush!

category international | anti-war / imperialism | opinion/analysis author Tuesday February 01, 2005 11:26author by Socialist Report this post to the editors

Election is a defeat for democracy

After 100,000 of their people have been murdered by the warmongerer Bush the people of Iraq have been terrorise into voting for new "democratic" government which Bush will force upon them. The USA can now use the "legitimacy" of the "elections" to consolidate their countrol over Iraqi oil.

72 percent of "registered" voters were herded to the polling stations at the point of a gun Even the polling stations were surrounded by US troops and their Iraqi Army stooges.
The only people who truly represent the Iraqis are the insurgents who are fighting for freedom from Western capitalism and bourgeoise values. But they too have surrendered! They only managed to attack a handful of polling stations and killing a few dozen of the traitors who thought they should vote and thereby participate in this travesty.
The regime of Saddam Hussein was the liegitimate government of a sovereign country and this was violated when the US invaded contrary to Internation Law.
It was up to the people of Iraq to remove him from power and his reign 30 year rule shows that Iraqis approved of his by and large benevolent dictatorship.
