America's Plans for Undemocracy in Iraq

Surprise! "Democracy" isn't coming to Iraq anytime soon once Saddam is displaced. According to Kanan Makiya, the plan for a post-Saddam Iraq entails "the appointment by the US of an unknown number of Iraqi quislings palatable to the Arab countries of the Gulf and Saudi Arabia as a council of advisers to this military government...The bureaucrats responsible for this plan are drawn from those parts of the administration that have always been hostile to the idea of a US-assisted democratic transformation of Iraq." You know things are bad when even Washington puppet Ahmed Chalabi is pissed off.
