The Deadly Lie of Democracy in Iraq

"It has been almost a million months since Iraqis ran to the polls, to fill holes in their souls with bloodstained ballots. Hundreds of candidates dressed up as maggots colored the liberal lining in occupied skies, and perpetuated the lies that there is democracy. Hypocrisy of the highest order, politicians blaming their failure on porous borders, while blindly following American orders on everything from defense to education. The death of a nation, systematic assassination and relentless dehumanization of millions of people. The burning of mosques, schools, hospitals and steeples for crumbs of rotten bread. Iraq is dead, shot in the heart and stabbed in the head." -- Excerpt from a new spoken word piece entitled, "Unfinished Letters from Iraq."

Some argue that Iraq was a better place under murderous saddam

Christians were not murdered.

Gangs of Iranian and saudi sponserd Shia and sunni Terrorists were not blowing up or chopping each others and innocent people's  heads off

Women were safe to go out without Hijab, so long as they did not encounter Saddam's spoiled sons.

I argue that any form of "Democracy" impopsed upon a nation by a foreign invader would lead to this kind of disaster we see in Iraq today.

Iraq was a dysfunctional Arab ruled country.

It was liberated by the West.  The only mistake Americans made was thinking that by letting the Arab population take over, they can rule over themselves.  Not bringing into the equation the cult of Islam.  Hence why we need to continue to, by force, free Iran form the Islamic Rapists cultists and then march onwards to Saudi Arabia and cleanse it from the Islamic Sunnists/Wahabists Cultists.  until such time that this part of the equation is not solved, the problem of terrorism and worldwide Islamic menace will linger on.

Remove Islam and this misguided/Non-existent Arab nationalism, and you will see how quickly Iraqis will gather themselves, dust off and continue with their long and distinguished lives.  Be it known that for the most part of the last 2500 years (minus the era of the Ottoman rule), Iraq was all part of Iran and hence why it was functional when it was so.
