You're thinking like a Westerner, not like a Mulsim. Arabs/Islamists have been doing this for hundreds of years. This is the way things are done. You trust the people you know, and the people that know you trust you.

By supporting the Militia, which has been reportedly behind a few of the bombings lately, he is not supporting the democratic process.

Now someone is starting to catch on. The culture and the lack of education on how democracy is supposed to work is why democracy itself will fail. You don't introduce a new concept and have people turn their back on hundreds of years of tradition just because an invading country says so.

He should supporting the Iraqi Security Forces, asking his Militia to join them, instead of fighting for his own interests.

Sure, if he thought like a Westerner. But he's an arab. He's a #####e. He's not going to think like a Westerner. Westerners cannot be trusted because of their political systems.

It is up to Jaafari to work with both internal and external forces to make his country safe, for everyone, not just the #####e's.

We see it that way, but I'm sure he doesn't. I'm sure he sees this as an opportunity to crush the Ba'athists and Sunnis the way the #####es were for decades under Saddam. This is his opportunity for payback! Arabs will get their revenge, even if it takes generations to do so.

Maybe this is why the US administration is not supporting him?

No, the US Administration is not supporting him because they are scare ****less that the #####es will align with Iran (other #####es). The US Administration wants a good little lap dog, like Saddam was before he got drunk with power.

Same thing with Palestine. Both US and Canadian governments do not reconize the democratically elected Hamas group. Is that to say they do not support democracy? No, they are just saying that they will not support a group that they feel is detrimental to the peace process.

No, they do not recognize them because they do not further their agenda. Hamas has great potential to unite all the warring arab factions under one banner, meaning Israel is in deep ****. If Hamas can do that, they will take the political seat of power in the region away from the Israelis IMO. They will have the most mojo. Since the US licks the dog crap off of Israel's sandals I highly doubt that they will recognize a government that could have such power. Harper doesn't recognize them because he doesn't want to **** off his newest bestest buddy, Dubya!
