DEMOCRACY

So I read in the Times this column inch about Bertie Ahern meeting a delegation from Iraq in Dublin organised by the IRI, that is all there no other mention of it I can find, ok so diplomatic meetings rarely get much sattention but this is more then that this is 8 MPs from Iraq's newly elected government. Ireland and the UN have brought democracy to Iraq and with all that bads news and 'unwarranted flak' the government has been getting over the Shannon and Bertie doesn' t want to use this opportumity to shout from the rooftops? with those men DEMOCRACY!! not even a photocall, or a told you so! you nitwit.

Oh I wish I was one of those journalists you hear about.

I see that the head of the delegation was Adnan Pachachi

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adnan_Pachachi a very importent man with huge history and involvement with politics in Iraq pre and post Saddam. Returning from exile in 2003 to help form the Iraqi Governing Council.

I try to find more about him http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/0602/p12s02-almo.html this The Wonderland docu is an interesting description of where he comes from. Sounds like some type of democrat so whats my beef?

Asia Times further quotes an Iranian analyst as saying, "As I gather, the idea was to fund and train activists to be agents provocateurs along the lines of the Otpor movement in Serbia. Their job was to utilize various techniques, such as anti-government graffiti etc, to embolden the student movement and provoke a general government crackdown, which could then be used as a pretext to 'spark' a mass uprising in Iran that appeared to be spontaneous and indigenous."

So whats wrong with that? Are these groups promoting more democracy or capitalism. If Bertie or the IRI had to choose one which would it be.
