Of Auctions, Holocaust, and History
I thought I'd give them a lesson in some facts about auctions, swastikas and current sales of babies and children. Jewish children are never allowed to forget what happened to their people during the Nazi era, and during preceding programs. Africans in the west are encouraged to forget the tragedy, the genocide of the Atlantic Slave Trade to the Americas. They will tell you "some of us also sold us," and my response to that is that some poor South Asian people sell their children, and other children of their own race, to tourists for sex today, at the beginning of the 21st. century.

Flashback A Brief Guide to the Iraqi Elections
1. Iraqis are voting not for a party or an individual but for a list.
2. Iraqi people have no opportunity to elect their president or prime minister.
3. None of the elected members will represent a locality.
4. Large areas of the country are not expected to be able to vote.

Election Déjà Vu

Come See Our Brutal Democracy
Beautiful thing, really, seeing repressed and weary Iraqis vote for the first time, and dance in the bloody bombed-out streets, and avoid the suicide bombers and of course not be able to travel between provinces or drive anywhere in their locked-down nation and by the way watch out for the snipers on the roofs. It really is amazing, watching the deeply flawed system of democracy take hold in a raw and decimated nation like a thorny weed cracking through shattered concrete.

Gorbachev Calls Iraqi Elections “Fake”
Former Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev called the Iraqi parliamentary elections a profanation. In an interview with the Interfax news agency, he said the elections are “very far from what true elections are. And even though I am a supporter of elections and of the transfer of power to the people of Iraq, these elections were fake.”
