The definition of democracy:
Definition of Democracy:
The Political orientation of those who favor government by the people, or by their ELECTED representatives.
This is the basic concept of democracy. And this is what the Bush Administration is trying to introduce in Iraq.
I am not contending here that the motive to invade Iraq was for the spread of Democracy. That was proven to be false from the reality on the ground in Iraq. No weapons of mass destruction was ever found. That is what the world was told by Pres. George W. Bush & his colleague Br. Prime Minister. Mr.Tony Blair.
But that is history now. The Iraqi people are now free of Sadaam and his Baath Party's tyranny. They are now in the process of experimenting for the first time in their history, with freedom of choice of who takes the helm of government. And if or when they feel as a people, that their elected representatives are not working in the commonweal's interest, they could be removed via elections.
That is what the world is eagerly awaiting, and would like the Iraqi people to understand and embrace, for their own future, security, liberty and freedom.
That is not Jefferson's democracy, or British democracy, but democracy that is relevant to the style and circumstance of Iraq.
The technicalities of how this will be implemented, will be decided by the Iraqi elected representatives.
Om Shanti.
