"Americans
tend to use words like 'freedom' and 'democracy' in a purely talismanic
manner, without attaching any actual meaning to them -- only thus could
the coups in Guatemala in 1954 or in Haiti in 2004 be hailed as
advances for democracy. But the current White House takes this attitude
to an unprecedented extreme. Time and again, the Bush administration
has shown that it is willing to hold elections in Afghanistan or Iraq,
but only when it can control the outcome beyond the shadow of a doubt.
There is no reason to believe that the January elections in Iraq will
be any different."
