Actually, Mr. Ganji is rather shrewd--and somewhat rude. Mr. Chalabi was removed from power in iraq. Ostensible distancing from Washington is logical.

Any occupying power can organize a poll. Such voting does not signify any progress toward democracy as it is superficial and based on foreign effort.

Actually it was even less than a poll, it was more like an ethnic/religious census.
