    This propaganda has nothing to do with what’s really happening in Iraq, much less any other part of the Middle East here is the reality .
    1 ) When the U.S. decided that elections were inevitable, it tried to shape them to its advantage. The election was held under the tight control of the military occupation and curfew, with voters not even knowing who the candidates were in many cases.
    2 ) The new national assembly elected January 30 2005 hasn’t been able to form a government .
    3 ) The new Iraqi government does not possess legal empowerment as the U.S. overseer Paul Bremer enacted the Transitional Administration Law that denies Iraqi popular self-determination. Meaning that any Iraqi govt must have a 2/3 majority to determine any questions such as the control of Iraqi oil and the length of the U.S. occupation that means a pro-U.S. minority can block any move that America deems hostile.
    4 ) It is the U.S. occupational authorities which appoints the judges and bureaucrats who occupy important positions in the governing agencies and the judiciary not the new government .
