Ugly Americans
In Huffington Post, John Cusack says "Can you imagine? We invade their country (Iraq), an invasion that has resulted in over 100,000 -- and maybe as many as 650,000 -- Iraqi civilians dead; 2 million Iraqis having fled the country, with 1.14 million displaced from their homes within Iraq; and tens of thousands of Iraqis detained -- with many of them tortured. After that 'enormous amount of support,' Iraqis have the temerity to complain?"
Apparently Ayad Allawi, who came in third with 14% of the vote in the 2005 Iraq 'elections',. knows where his constituents are - a few people in Washington. So can this ever be the start of a fledgling democracy, or will the US put their new 'Saddam Hussein' in charge.
IMO: Regarding 123, India should beware of the ugly Americans, who may be Republicans or Democrats
