theocracy is on the march!

Seen at a few sources, but most recently at the Left Coaster :

Mr. Chalabi said the impact of the elections would reach the entire Islamic world. "Iraqi people voted out a government which had the support of the United States and 150,000 troops in Iraq, with funding 50 times more than the other lists combined, especially on TV time. They did that in the face of major threats by terrorists. The Iraqi people demonstrated this can happen."

Yep, i guess that this election was a resounding success! I wonder what the American people will say when they find out that the new Iraqi government that thousands died for will not actually be a democracy? Life sure ain't boring these days, is it?!
