Iraq is just a symbol of the attitude of western democracies to the rest of the world.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am all in favour of democracy in Iraq.
The United States is not for democracy in Iraq, it's for setting up a puppet government.
Iraq is a manufactured conflict for the sake of geopolitical dominance in the area.
The west has a great deal to answer for in the Middle East, from Britain's belated empire-building after the First World War to the US and British policy that condemns modern Iraq to the material and social squalor of a half-century ago.
The election in Iraq clearly demonstrates that Iraqi people are like people everywhere. They desire to create a future in an environment that is safe and allows them to reach their full potential as human beings, whatever that potential may be.
Iraq is not the only nation in the world to possess weapons of mass destruction, but it is the only nation with a leader who has used them against his own people.
Iraq is a small but very proud nation.
We are a country that has many friends, many allies, when we operate in the world, we operate with friends and allies that's been true for decades and if we wind up going to war in Iraq it will be true in Iraq.
Iraq can emerge as a beacon of hope and democracy in the Middle East, and the world, with our help.
Iraq is part of a legitimate American effort not to have democracy everywhere but to have democracy somewhere.
