'Democracy' - Blush-style

So the Iraqi people have accepted the new constitution, have they? Well, this is clearly a new definition of the term 'accepted', that I've never encountered before. The Sunni areas had majorities against the constitution, but as they would have needed two thirds voting against, they didn't apparently reject it enough.

Bush and Blair - the Blush axis - just don't have a clue about democracy, do they? Despite all the incessant babble, it's actually nothing more than a verbal talisman for them, isn't it? Blair's already demonstrated his total lack of understanding of the concept, by pushing through Scottish and Welsh devolution on a minority of the popular vote. Now the two of them have reinvented the rule book again with a stunning piece of Orwellian double think in which 'No' now means 'Yes'. Provided Tony says so, of course.

Bush is clearly too stupid to understand the issue, but Blair is perfectly able to understand, and we can only conclude that the manipulation is deliberate and malicious. Scary to be in the hands of someone like this, isn't it?
