So, is Iraq with its one-man, one-vote more democratic than the US?

[hector459]

Isn't their President going to be elected by individual vote?
I know this assembly is going to draft a constitution but won't Iraqis get to vote individually vote on it? I sure would like to have the Iraqi "democracy" explained. Any links?

1. The US plans on making the decisions there for a long time

Don't fool yourself.

And regarding how they will elect their president -- no. To the best of my knowledge, they elect an assembly to draft a constitution. This assembly will then come up with a way to choose a committee/sub-body to choose the president.

There's been no talk of a general election for president in Iraq.

I suspect that this will all get tossed and re-done once the US gets thrown out of the country anyway, so who knows.

2. BBC this morning anounced Iraq ran out of ballots

Sounds like the US to me....And, who is counting those things, anyway?
