I was telling Sassafras last night that the group that is leading the voting in Iraq is the conservative right. There seems to be a lot of concern that they may form a theocratic form of government. The general spin is that this group is intolerant of other people that have different views than they do.
Now, as I pointed out to Sassafras, the group that is most worried about this particular group of Iraqi pundits, is the group here in the US that is presently in control. Last I knew, this group, the George W. Bush coalition, is considered the conservative right. So, we have a conservative right group from the US that is intolerant of a conservative right group from Iraq. :-/
What's wrong with this picture?
