<you're complaining because the neocons think Chalabi might usefully play a part in reconstructing a government?> Aside from leading us down the garden path to war with tall tales of WMD, all the while declaring that he had no political ambitions for himself, Chalabi has successfully deployed our troops and used hundreds of billions of dollars of our money and the blood of thousands of our young people to secure a country for himself -- and we are playing along because the neocons think he will play the game the way the neocons want it played -- after all, he presents himself as one of "them". Anybody who is an Iraqi citizen living in Iraq should be allowed to vote -- I have no problem with that. But get on with it and stop all the pretense about democracy if you are not prepared to accept the verdict of the people of Iraq. Chalabi is not electable. He will have to be "installed". I say extradite him to Jordan to serve his jail sentence and get on with the elections.
