It seems very strange to me that, particularly in a thread where certain people are championning "democracy" that these very came people cannot recognise a clear majority of opinion.
I for one will not afford this thread anymore coherent or relevant posts but rather will resort to attempting to lighten the atmoshphere.
May democracy prevail in this thread damnit and all those who will not accept majority thought be struck down with mysterious bowel spasms.

Pfft,
democracy shmocracy. Power comes at the end of a gun. My AK has my vote
Death to the state!
Death to the bourgeoisie!
Attika! Attika! Attika!(p.s, i find it pretty juvenile of the Bush fans i.e neo-cons i.e. knob jockeys, for trying to marginalise descenting opinion as being anti-democracy. As though they have the only right to celebrate Iraqi self-determination. How short is their memory, that, after all the disasters, of all the lives lost, and immeasurable cost of human suffering, it has suddenly become "worth it" and a moment to gloat. Have some respect for the murdered you low-lifes.
Oh and johndiggity - the last time Iraq had a democracy was not over 60 years ago, it was some 50 years ago. And that multi-party system was created after the spontaneous overthrow of a corrupt dictatorial monarchy placed there by the United Kingdom of Shit (and supported by the United States of Shit) as they had done throughout the middle east. Just pointing out, to the doubters, that the rag-heads don't necessarily need the benevolence of half-cooked white sushi men to teach them civilisation and the rule of law).

Joseph Stalin, now there was a man who knew what the term "it's worth it" was all about. He said he'd build a railway, and damn, he did. Cost 20 million lives of course, but after it was finished, every single Russian, even the dead ones rode the rails to Vladivostok. Oh yes. It was truly in every Russians best interests to suffer 30 years of repression, starvation and murder, so a group of elite rulers could live in total luxury and lord it over who ever they like without the threat of consequence.
Thank the lord those terrible days are gone and the whole world has learnt from..... hang on a minute...

I'm sure it's been mentioned earlier in this thread, but i find Americans' championing 'freedom' (what is freedom anyway?) ironic

General response:
I find it odd and humorous that a lot of people here have such a hard time with the United States while living in it. Such talk of big government and it's control, or the skewed media. And yet here you are on a design forum, posting by clicking on your nice optical mouse thanks to big business, looking at your large monitor thanks to large corporations, using your nice computer, fast dsl line all from the comforts of your home heated by gas and oil and lit by electric both from once governmental agencies. You drive your cars to the gas stations and fill er up once, maybe twice a week. You pay your taxes from your 9-5 jobs, or your 1099. You vote and have the freedom to burn a flag if you are so pissed off and choose to do so. You can read, have access to limitless information via the web and yet, here you are. Bitching.
The Iraqi people have nothing. This is everything to them and you still bitch and yet have no viable solutions, and if you did you waste them on a design board. Why not post in a political blog I wonder?!? Is it because you may or may not get your asses handed to you on a platter?!? Not sure. So you wage war with words to a bunch of designers. I just have to laugh.
Tell you what. The day I learn something new hear, or your arguments are new, or I’m shown new information that I haven’t found on my own, I’ll be the first to tell you. But unfortunately it’s the same thing day in and day out. Nothing changes. You hate Bush, we know. You hate the war. We know. You hate America. Yes, we know.
So as you take all your freedoms for granted while you lap in the luxury of technology and post in a design blog let me just say this... please, f*ck off.
You hate all that you have so much?!? Move to the mountains, live off the land, raise and kill your own food, make your own tools, make your own home and send me anything you want to say via a carrier pigeon you’ve raised and trained and I’ll be glad to post your rant on a design board of your choice.
The end.
Yay for the first election in 50+ years.

your assumption that we hate america is baseless. I love america, I just dont like this imperial occupation of iraq. If we are leaving the country, why are we building permanent military bases?
- k0na_an0k0
Name me a world power without military bases other than on it's own soil.
And fyi, it was a general response. Was I talking to you?!? I didn't really read all 400+ responses so I have no idea what you said above.
- mrdobolina0
if you didnt read it, how can you respond to it?
- vespa0
you're right k0na. nt is not the place to have an intelligent discussion about anything besides graphic design and as taxpaying participants in western society we are not qualified to criticise those we elected to wield power on our behalf, using said tax money, unless we are willing to drop out of society completely and become cave hermits.
all or nothing, black or white, win or lose. yeehaw.
see ya!
