US says Islamic state in Iraq is acceptable Secretary of State says administration would have to accept election result, but warns human rights must be respected straitstimes.asia1.com.sg WASHINGTON - The United States, in a policy reversal, yesterday signalled its readiness to accept an Islamic theocracy in Iraq. Secretary of State Colin Powell said the administration 'will have to accept' any free and fairly elected government. ============================================================ The following commments are all from SLL on the FOOL - NOT ME .... Aren't all you neocons proud? We went to war in Iraq to “free” their people from Saddam, only to deliver them into the hands of fundamentalist theocracy. I wonder how the women in Iraq feel, hearing that beekeeper outfits are being ordered in the one-size-fits-all style so becoming to Muslim females. I wonder how grateful they, and their girl-children, will be when we at last turn their futures over to a form of government which relegates them to the status of chattel. I wonder, as well, how much more secure we'll be with yet another medieval Islamic state in the Middle East, now that we've utterly destroyed the secular state imposed by Saddam Hussein. We are SO going to regret the war in Iraq. This “human rights must be respected” caveat can no more be enforced than it is enforced today towards Saudi Arabia or Sudan. We have merely opened the door to the solidifying of fundamentalism in the Middle East – presumably, according to the neocons, precisely the opposite result of that which was their initial goal. Our troops will remain only as long as it takes the radicals to exert sufficient pressure on the new fundamentalist government. After that, the appropriate analogy will be Al Qaeda and the Taliban. Perhaps “analogy” is the wrong word. More likely, it will actually be Al Qaeda and the Taliban. We killed thousands of Iraqis and hundreds of Americans for THIS? Reaping what we've sown. SLL
