However -

If I can demonstrate there is a military occupation of Iraq which is not responsible in any meaningful way to Iraqis, who can kill, torture, maim and destroy without Iraqis having any meaningful recourse,

AND

that the edicts of Bremer, the man who was installed as governor of Iraq through military force, cannot be changed by the Iraqis,

AND

that certain people and items cannot be on the ballot because they might well oppose the American military occupation described above, therefore depriving Iraqis of a meaningful choice,

will you agree the elections are a sham, meant only to install a puppet regime.

Arf (and the "democracy" question is for mayer, who touts both torture and "democracy")
