"democracy" in action - or maybe not

I Al-Maliki Negotiates a Treaty with US and no one knows whether he’ll even submit this “treaty” to the Iraqi parliament for a vote.

And Bush, who doesn’t call it a “treaty” so he therefore doesn’t have to submit it to Congress for a vote, has now, or so he thinks, established permanent bases in Iraq forever.

So even those the vast majorities of both countries are against this deal, neither population has a damn thing to say about it. That’s “democracy” for ya? Right.
