Re: The people who weren’t allowed to vote…Images will shock
Don’t you think it’s time for the hate brigade to wake up and smell the roses that are blooming in the year 2005. Your dusty old picture of Rummy with Saddam is of ages past. So too are the white man/American Indian wars, slavery and Hiroshima. It’s 2005 and freedom and democracy are on the march all over the world. Palestinians, Afghans and Iraqis can vote. Don’t spoil their jubilation because your relatives in Pakistan cannot.
Re: The people who weren't allowed to vote......Images will shock
Yes yes a vote, imagine if only the baptists were allowed to vote in the US? Hang on.... :D
Re: The people who weren't allowed to vote......Images will shock
Hmm i say elections are fine as long as everybody is allowed to vote. I mean after all this is not the US where criminals can't vote, nor can blacks or hispanics.
Re: The people who weren't allowed to vote......Images will shock
I got this from another discussion group... Any one got more on this?.. very interesting points below..
The Iraqi election has gone true to farce. Some voters voting from thousands of miles away! Last night on the BBC's popular weekly program "Newsnight",a group of eminent journalists discussed the significance of the Iraqi poll. While praising the Iraqis who did come out and vote, they represented only a segment of the country, was the journalist opinion. One said that it could be an election in Britain where London, Manchester, Glasgow, etc did not vote! Simon Jenkins of the "Tiimes" said that "it was a delusion to think that we(the allies)controlled Iraq. All that we control is the Green Zone"...Without US suport, any new govt. in Iraq would quickly dissolve when attacked by the insurgents.
Jenkins also said that the US and its allies should leave Iraq imediately,as they were part of the problem,and let the Iraqis-the warlords who control affairs in the different cities to work amongst themselves and restore law and order there.Otheres said that the US had already "decared victory"
in Iraq before and there was nothing new that this election would bring,perhaps the threat of civil war.The resilient Iraqi nationalism was also hailed ,something that the west did not understand at all,that Iraq was a nation despite the different ethnic and religious divisions.
This election does show that the Iraqi people in general want a democratic setup wheer they could choose their won rulers,but not under the manipulation of a disgraced and manipulative foreign power.The urgent need of the hour is for the foreign troops in Iraq to leave as fast as they can,or suffer mounting casualties.We've just had two incidents where large numbers of US and British troops were killed in the loss of a helo and a C-130.It appears that the insurgents are refining their ability to shoot down aircraft.It is only a matter of time when the US generals will pull the plug and tell George Bush that they cannot suffer more casualties and must retreat.
While the US hails this "victory",the news that it has been pressurising the qataris to sell Al Jazeera,the TV channel which telecasts credible news of the actual situation in the region,news unpalatable to the US-and thereby stifle it,is another disgusting picture of US "Democratic"double speak!

Thap, first you'd have to imagine that Baptists are blowing up men, women and children to extend their oprressive rule.
Re: The people who weren’t allowed to vote…Images will shock
Then, you’d have to imagine that all the Catholics, Protestants, Anglicans, Lutherans, Christian Scientists, etc. are encouraging the Baptists to vote and trying to get them to participate in the election. Then, you’d have to imagine that a few of the Baptists, together with some mercenary foreign terrorists, took up arms and threatened to behead any of their fellow Baptists who actually voted.
Then, you’d have to imagine that, when many Baptists living in Baptist communities decided not to vote, some jerk-off would blame the Catholics, Protestants, Anglicans, Lutherans, Christian Scientists, etc. for not letting them participate in the election.
Re: The people who weren’t allowed to vote…Images will shock
And that is contingent on Baptists (and their keyboard crusaders) being whining conspiracy theorists who wouldn’t know what democracy was if it fell from the sky and hit them on the head.
Re: The people who weren't allowed to vote......Images will shock
Yeah democracy is when you don't allow a certain religious minority to vote. That is how hitler started off.
Re: The people who weren't allowed to vote......Images will shock
CM, now you are comparing the Sunni insurgents who threaten to kill anyone who voted to Hitler?? Who's side are you on, I'm confused.
Re: The people who weren’t allowed to vote…Images will shock
Don’t be so touchy UTD, He is talking about Pakistan. Minorities there don’t vote in general elections.
Re: The people who weren't allowed to vote......Images will shock
UTD you are always confused. I will explain this. Hitler started of eliminating jews by restricting their rights. One of them was to vote. I wonder what the US is doing with the sunnis.
Re: The people who weren't allowed to vote......Images will shock
CM, you mean in Afghanistan?
Re: The people who weren't allowed to vote......Images will shock
CM, do you think by posting it enough times it suddenly becomes the truth? This isn't the Arab street where every anti-American consipiracy theory becomes fact. Sunnis did it to themselves. You are the one who is confused.
Re: The people who weren’t allowed to vote…Images will shock
Seminole, he is not confused, he is trying to be cute…he knows that he and his brothern fellow terrorist sympathizers US Haters are now hating themselves by such a turn out. The mental aggravation will take some time to heal. Can’t you feel their depression?
Re: The people who weren’t allowed to vote…Images will shock
Asking them to vote???
How very Hitleresque of the US. Putting polling places in the Sunni triangle. Urging Sunnis to vote. Protecting the polling places against Sunni thugs by putting our troops in harm’s way. Encouraging the formation of Sunni political parties. That has got to be the most ingenious plan ever to restrict Sunni voting rights. Maybe CM thinks that big giant ovens were disguised to look like polling places in Fallujah.
Re: The people who weren’t allowed to vote…Images will shock
Asking Sunnis to vote…OH MY GAWD!!! You don’t get houris that way, fellas!!
Re: The people who weren’t allowed to vote…Images will shock
So did these people not deserve a vote fellas?
Re: The people who weren’t allowed to vote…Images will shock
Thap, quoting one’s own is not very original. It is a sign of desperation and feeling. Next time ask your sidekick to quote you, to show some credibility.
Re: The people who weren't allowed to vote......Images will shock
So that's a no then, how very sad this demo-crazy is then madhanee. Bomb some little kids then force people to vote for a choice of stooge?
Must make sense to you man? Not to me. But then again you and I have very different values.
