Has anybody out there been waiting to see democracy in action in the newly sovereign Iraq? Boy, I have. I’ve been expecting the spirit of Jefferson to appear in the crater-pocked streets of Baghdad. My wait is over. Regrettably, my skepticism has been justified; democracy is stillborn in Iraq.
The closure of AlJazeera has proven to me, once and for all, that all pretense of democracy can be abandoned. We have hatched a totalitarian puppet government, doubtless on it’s way to being another inscrutable theocracy.
Nuts.
