The benefits of U.S.-style democracy
By Imad Allo Azzaman, March 6, 2007

The achievements of U.S.-style democracy which the current U.S. administration has tried to apply in Iraq are numerous.

The benefits Iraqis have gained from these achievements have prompted the administration to try and spread them throughout the Middle East, taking Iraq as a small experiment.

And here are a few examples of these achievements and their advantages in case you have not yet heard of them or have not experienced them for the bad luck of not being able to live in Iraq.

The U.S. democracy has interrupted power supplies and caused chronic fuel shortages.

Iraqis have given up even dreaming of going on a picnic to their once beautiful tourist spots like the Habaniya Lake or the ancient Akarkouf.

Iraqis now dread to go to the cinema - if there any cinemas left in the country. Eating out is a dream of the past and taking the children for an outing is unthinkable.

Under the U.S. democracy in Iraq you must be a prisoner of your own house or you risk being killed, injured or kidnapped.

Even staying home is no longer safe. It is very likely for unidentified gunmen to storm your house in the middle of the night or in broad day light.

If you happen to be in the capital Baghdad, a major advantage of U.S. style democracy is denial of sleep.

U.S. warplanes, helicopter gun ships, tanks and other armored vehicles spring to life at night. The U.S. military love Baghdad nights and their warplanes are fond of low-flying when it is dark.

The U.S. thinks democracy can only take roots if practiced at night amid deafening noises, indiscriminate shelling and bombing and breaking of doors and windows.

As the day breaks, our national police and army spring to action. They set up roadblocks wherever they want. They close streets and establish checkpoints.

In the middle of this chaos, suicide and car bombers strike, and insurgents mount attacks on both Iraqi and U.S. forces.

It is not important how many people get killed or injured. It is not important whether Iraqis are so terrified that many of them do not venture outside their homes.

What is important is our ‘democratically elected’ government and the nearly 150,000 U.S. occupation troops protecting it.

These are some of the advantages of U.S.-style democracy. If you need further information or you want to enjoy the benefits first hand you are most welcome to visit Baghdad and see for yourself.
