It is amazing: all Iraqis know that the US is opposed to free elections in Iraq, and they know why; while most Americans are still under the impression that the US is pushing for democracy and elections in Iraq. Well, most Americans still think that Saddam was responsible for Sep. 11 attacks. So we should not be surprised. Here the New York Times, admits that the US is obstructing free elections because it wants to prop up its stooges (notice that the New York Times calls US stooges "moderates." )
