US Battles for Theocracy

Draft Constitution May Strip Iraqi Women of Basic Human Rights

Iraq's parliament received a draft of the country's constitution... The document stipulates Islam is the official religion of Iraq, and is a fundamental source for legislation.

U.S. officials reportedly played a major role in the drafting of the document. Monday's outcome was welcomed in Washington. In a written statement, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said, "The process by which Iraqis have reached this point is historic and in the best tradition of democracy."

Ummm...what universe am I in, please? I thought we were over there fighting for "freedom and democracy" (that is, after every other excuse BushCo gave for its war was proven to be a lie -- Iraq is a world threat, has WMDs, played a part in 9/11, is linked to al Qaeda). Since when is a theocracy in the best tradition of democracy?? Oh. Wait. I forgot. These are the same fuck-tards who want to turn our own "democracy" (it's actually an oligarchy) into a theocracy.
