Iraq Elections Run Like American Elections

Seems that Bush and Co. may have rigged the Iraq election. With some provinces claiming that 99% of people voted FOR the election. This would be highly suspect even without all the bombs, and political strife going on in Iraq now. I guess Bush's B.S. about "democracy building" means as much over there as it does over here.

99% voted for the constitution, you mean?

Don't worry. The votes have been carefully counted and recounted, and all agree.

The Iraqi Constitution passed 5-4.
