Bush would grudgingly accept Islamic state in Iraq

United States President George W Bush says he would grudgingly accept a fundamentalist Islamic government in Iraq, if the country voted to create one in free elections.

"I would be disappointed but democracy is democracy," Mr Bush said. "If that's what the people choose, that's what the people choose."

Free elections are expected next January in Iraq.

Mr Bush has touted the prospect for democratic governments there and in Afghanistan as evidence that his administration is making progress in the US war on terrorism.

The majority of Iraqis are adherents of the Shiite branch of Islam that rules neighbouring Iran.

Bush admitted this in an interview aboard Air Force One as he travelled to a campaign stop in New Jersey.

Utterly, simply amazing. Over a thousand Americans died to allow an Islamic state in Iraq?
