No to elections in the Middle East
I mean, I never call for elections in the Middle East anymore. It is very low in my list of priority because you can't have free elections in the Middle East in the age of US intervention and Saudi money. Unless you remove banking secrecy and monitor all money transfers and such and unless foreign intervention ceases, elections are a chance for the billionaires of the region to compete and for the the Saudi and US money to dominate. Look at the last parliamentary election in Tripoli, Lebanon. Four billionaires dominated the region, really. Prince Muqrin now throwns a $billion in every Middle East election. So basically if you support elections in the Middle East you are supporting Prince Muqrin's plans (coordinated with Israel/US) to buy legitimacy for Israel/US puppets. In Iraq, US/Syria/Israel/Saudi Arabia were on the same side supporting Iyad Allawi--who also received the support of the Ba`th. A Middle East political irony if there was one.
