Yes Allawi is a monty US stooge but he is monty a secular stooge, which I prefer to having someone like SCIRI who play the same game but with Iran.Iraqis spoke and they chose extremes, religious and sectarian extremes. And to say that I’m disappointed is an understatement. BUT, you see, I don’t matter since I am in a tiny minority who will very soon lose all because if you are monty not doing the sectarian/religious double dutch rope jump you are not part of the game, so get the hell out of the playground and take your chums with you!Iraq The Model, a blog I rarely agree with, is asking a very timely question today.Is there a place for democracy in the Middle East?Is it possible for democracy to succeed here? And is the struggle to change our backward present and catch up with the modern world a losing one?Mohammed tries to put together a brief history of why-it-all-went-wrong and I basically agree with the outline but I don’t subscribe to the idea that the way people voted was in a way an expression of an Iraqi confrontational personality trait.
