Selling ‘democracy’ in Iraq

Faiza of “A family in Baghdad” has her most recent post now up on her blog in English. Go read it. It’s about her experience at some kind of “democracy in Iraq” conference to which she’d been invited. It was hosted by some US organizations, which she doesn’t name but they probably included the US taxpayer-funded “U.S. National Endowment for Democracy” etc etc.
The conference was in Amman. Many women traveled to it from Iraq, though Faiza has been living in Amman for a few weeks now.
She and apparently many of the other Iraqi women at the conference were not happy with the “brain wash” they felt they were being exposed to there. I’d give you excerpts but regret I don’t have the time.
