Iraq's elections.

Since phoning in a post about Iraq elections, I came across Juan Cole's post that seems to say a lot of what I have on my mind today.
  • Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani should get the real credit for the elections in Iraq.
  • Bush originally didn't want free elections.
  • Many of the candidates were anonymous.
It's interesting to read the lengths Sistani went to so that Iraq could have real democracy.

Juan Cole is a clueless dolt as most leftist elite college professors are.
