Non-Theocracy in Iraq (Haw Haw Haw)

(Note: I prefer the term "non-theocracy" to "secularism," because in a U.S. context "secularism" is often used to mean that the government actively tries to marginalize religion).

Diana Moon of Letter from Gotham has a post out on the not-so-non-theocratic results of the Iraqi election.

I can't help but recall hearing the war-supporters insist that Iraq was so different from Iran, and how the Iraqi wanted freedom and non-theocratic government so bad. (And how popular Ahmad Chalabi was).

I expect that the charges of vote fraud will be growing fairly soon. In fact, I would not be surprised if many of the Chalabiphilic neocons insist that the vote be adjusted to reflect how they are certain that the elections went.

That is all.
