feel it is okay to tell a sovereign nation that they cannot have their elected leader?

The link was simply backing up my claim.

Or why do they cry about Iraq being a civil war and that we should leave due to this reason; yet they whine about us going over to Darfur, which is A CIVIL WAR??!!! I don't understand their logic, or lack there of!

Hypocrites, simple as that. The daily dose of hypocrisy and the brainwashed followers supporting them.

Did Carl Levin, the man the linked article is about, ever say the war was illegal? I don't believe he ever did. This is actually the most moronic attempt to discredit liberals I've ever seen, and I've seen some really pathetic attempts. I mean, this doesn't even make all that much sense. Levin's a pretty moderate guy, he was the one Dem Senator who said that the Dems would give Bush the money in the supplemental. Also, it's hillarious, considering you Republicans tried to throw the elected Bill Clinton out of office a few years ago.

when your team "illegally" invaded a sovereign country, they felt it was ok to "tell a sovereign nation that they cannot have their elected leader". (please recall in the last pre-war Iraqi election saddam got 99% of the vote, [that's how it was reported]).

As always with the liberal, it's do as we say, not do as we do...

Read the article.
The calls are that the "Iraq's parliament should oust [the] Prime Minister" -- which is exactly how a parliamentary govt is supposed to work. Parliament picks the PM.
The US leaders are saying that Iraq's parliament should find someone who can do they job that the current PM is apparently not doing -- that's expressing an opinion.
Now, if the US tried to order the PM to stand aside, or tried to use force to remove the PM -- that's interfering. But making a suggestion is not interfering -- it's just expressing an opinion.

I never said it was illegal but I still do not think it was the right thing to do.

Iraq is as sovereign as Bush is honest.
Maliki is a horrible leader, if you don't think he needs to go, then you aren't paying attention.

Because before we invaded, 1000's of American soldiers weren't dying because Iraq can't get it's crap together.
Thanks bush.
