Answer 1

What??!?!?!?!?
You call these "democratic elections"?!?!?!?

Some notion you've got about what a democratic election is!
Listen kid: you cannot have anything _ ANYTHING - democratic when there are one hunded thousant foreigh mercenary thughs in your country.
Wake up.
These people do not have a life, have no future and no present as long as they are under occupation. They should be left alone to follow their own path.

But wait.... what am I saying.... this goes against US interests. Oooops I forgot.

Answer 2

Voting was along sectarian lines. Shiites voted for Shiites, Sunnis for Sunnis, Kurds for Kurds, etc. Many Sunnis did not vote as a protest. It was their way of showing they did not want to recognize the legitimacy of the new scheme of government. The Sunnis largely felt the new constitution and parliament were set up by the US to disenfranchise them and take away Sunni bureaucratic jobs and their share of the oil revenues..

The result of the Sunni boycott of the election of course, was that the Shiites, a majority of the population in any case, got even more representation and control of the new parliament than they would have otherwise.

This election was just another factor which provoked the civil war between the religious sects. It helped to divide, rather than unite, the country. However, in the US, pictures of Iraqis with blue stained fingers (a sign that they had voted) were used as part of the Republican party public relations campaign to show progress in Iraq.

Answer 3

Saddam did not win! Iraq did!

And for every 'bad' thing that is shown in Iraq - the coalition forces do a 1,000 more things great - those people have a life!
