The Hypocrisy of Democracy
Our appointee has demanded an election
To soften the Palestinian complexion
But they went through all of that
And elected Arafat
Will "Democracy" survive Bush's objection?

Take Your Chad And Shove It
Here come the invaders
The Christian crusaders
With tanks and guns and planes
They're bombing everything
So if we get to vote someday
We'll vote against the U.S.A.

Meet El Presidente
We came, we saw, we conquered
But then it got kind of sad
They didn't want to be bothered
With hanging and dimpled chad
So Iraqis did a write-in
They wrote in: "Osama bin"
Can you say: "President Laden?"
He's back in the saddle again!

Hypocrisy of democracy:
After Palestinian Vote, U.S. Democracy Campaign Questioned
http://blog.washingtonpost.com/worldopinionroundup/2006/03/palestinia...
The United States, declared President Bush in his 2005 inaugural
address, seeks to "support the growth of democratic movements and
institutions in every nation and culture, with the ultimate goal of
ending tyranny in our world." Later this month the State Department
will release it annual report on U.S. efforts to support human rights
and democracy.
This is the first in a series of occasional posts on media reaction to
American democracy-building in different countries.
The Bush administration's campaign for democracy in the Arab world has
hit a bumpy road in the Palestinian territories in and around Israel.
After Hamas won a majority of seats in the Palestinian parliament in
January in an election that observers certified as free and fair, the
U.S. push for democracy lost some energy, as The Washington Post put
it. Demanding that Hamas renounce violence and recognize Israel, the
Bush administration is now seeking to curtail the Palestinian
government's access to tax revenues and international aid.
The Bush administration, reported the New York Times (payment
required), wants to force Hamas from power. U.S. officials haven't
officially stated any such intention, but continue to shun the
Palestinians' elected leaders. The London-based Al Quds Al Arabi (in
Arabic) reported yesterday that U.S. officials cautioned independent
Palestinians such as Finance Minister Salam Fayyad not to join a
Hamas-led government.
At the same time, U.S. continues to support democracy building efforts
in Palestinian areas. In recent years, the State Department has helped
write Palestinian election laws, modernize the judicial system and
fund scores of civil society organizations promoting human rights and
the rule of law.
When Scott Carpenter, a deputy assistant secretary of state, answered
questions on Islam Online, readers hammered him with questions about
the reality of the U.S. commitment to supporting Palestinian
democracy. Islam Online is a news and opinion site based in the United
Arab Emirates and overseen by Yusuf Qaradawi, a Muslim scholar and
Aljazeera TV talk show host who presents himself as a link between
traditionalists and modernizers in the Muslim world.
"The United States is not really interested in democracy - just in
controlling the leaders in a place where there is a lot of oil," said
Asif, a software engineer, in the online chat with Carpenter.
One leading Arabic daily also questioned the coherence of Washington's
democracy policy.
"If democracy is expressed through the ballot boxes," asked As Safir,
an independent Arabic daily in Beirut, "is it permissible to describe
the resisting Palestinian factions as terrorists even though they have
asserted their credibility and the people's support for them by
gaining the votes of the Palestinian masses?
"The truth is that the Western countries' position is greatly
contradictory."
On the Israeli right, Zalman Shoval, former Israeli Ambassador to the
United States, rejected the notion that promoting democracy in the
Middle East advances U.S. or Israeli interests.
"Washington is so imbued with the conviction that democratic elections
will remove all the obstacles from the path of freedom and peace
everywhere that it sometimes loses sight not only of realities in
certain parts of the world but also of history," he wrote for a
conservative Israeli think tank.
Palestinian voters, he warns, "may have to pay the price for giving
Hamas victory in the recent elections, knowing full well for whom they
were voting."
In Europe, Il Giornale (in Italian), a conservative newspaper owned by
the family of prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, says the West must
learn to deal with the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamic party popular in
many countries, of which Hamas in an offshoot. The Brotherhood is too
popular to be ignored, they say. "Excluding them from the elections
means very simply abandoning democracy in the Arab world."
Furthermore, U.S. demands for democratic behavior are inconsistent,
according to two journalists of Palestinian descent who run the
Electronic Intifada Web site.
Ali Abunimah and Arjan El Fassed say Israel has not been asked to
renounce violence or recognize a Palestinian government. In any case,
they say democracy cannot take root under Israeli occupation. Israel's
recent raid on a Jericho jail to capture Palestinians accused of
involvement in a political assassination "demonstrates once again the
fiction that there is a functioning Palestinian 'government' in the
occupied territories," they write. Palestinians continue to live
"under full Israeli military dictatorship."
Daoud Kuttab, a Palestinian journalist who describes himself as an
"enthusiastic" supporter of Bush's democracy mission, says U.S.
officials lost their zeal for democracy when the results did not
please them.
"The US has shown that it is unable to deal with the democratic game,"
he writes. "Attempts to economically blackmail Palestinians into
refraining from electing Hamas have badly backfired leaving the Bush
administration and its democracy theme in major trouble."
Not so, said the State Department's Carpenter. "We praise the election
process but do not have to live with the resultant policies just
because Hamas was elected, Carpenter said. "Elections, like all the
choices we make, have consequences."
Those consequences, media commentators throughout the Middle East
note, have called into question the U.S. commitment to building
democracy in Palestinian society.

Here's another reason why Arabs should reject democracy:
Democracy is a propaganda tool. Anything can be justified by invoking
the magic word: "Democracy." The United States kills Arabs every day
either to protect our Democracy, or to impose our Democracy.
Democracy is the basis for having wars and killing people, forever.
Democracy is used to justify support for Israel. In the below quote,
Kerry repeats the same old lie that Israel is the *only* Democracy in
the region when we all know Arafat was elected.
http://www.counterpunch.org/frank08212004.html
...Even if some progressives detest Ralph Nader's decision to run this
year, pro-Palestinian advocates must admit that it is gratifying to
finally hear such arguments made in the public arena -- for these
criticisms have been political faux-paus for far too long. And
certainly Nader is right to point out that little will change
regarding the US and Israel if Kerry defeats Bush in November. As
Kerry exclaimed to a Georgetown University crowd in January 2003,
"Israel is our ALLY, the only true DEMOCRACY in a troubled region.
America has always been committed to Israel's independence and
survival. We will never waiver."
