The UN is about to considering renewing its mandate re the use of multi-national forces in Iraq. Last year, Maliki unilaterally recommended renewal. This year the Iraqi Parliament (at least a few more than half the members) has voted against renewal. It appears, however, that this vote will not be a factor in the UN's decision. If the authors of the article are correct, then what does this say about democracy and freedom in Iraq?
Our leaders seem to believe that we should support those 'democratic' nations that vote the way we want them to.
