"The people of Iraq are free," declared President Bush in his state of
the union address on Tuesday. The previous day, 100,000 Iraqis begged
to differ. They took to Baghdad's streets, shouting: "Yes, yes to
elections. No, no to selection."
According to Iraq occupation chief Paul Bremer, there really is no
difference between the White House's version of freedom and the one
being demanded on the street. Asked whether his plan to form an Iraqi
government through appointed caucuses was heading towards a clash with
Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani's call for direct elections, Bremer said he
had no "fundamental disagreement with him".
