Iraq’s Shia consider new political alliance

April 19th, 2010 maru 1 comment

Iraq’s Shia parties are putting aside their differences to ally in the next parliament, giving them the majority they need to form a government. Kurdish parties have said they will join the Shia parties if they unite, meaning Iraq’s political landscape could once again be dominated by a Shia-Kurd alliance; an outcome that will dissapoint many Sunnis who had hoped this election would bring change. Al Jazeera’s Zeina Khodr reports from Baghdad.

Iraq’s political campaign methods

March 4th, 2010 maru No comments

It is election season in Iraq, on the 7th of March Iraqis will go to the polls and decide who will make up their next government. Iraq’s politicians want to be part of the new parliament but they are using a very old method of speaking to voters – the political poster. As a result, Baghdad’s printers and party activists are working around the clock. Omar al-Saleh reporting from Baghdad.

The Elite sElection of 2008 and the Status Quo

February 3rd, 2010 maru 25 comments

Please rate, comment and subscribe. Will America change for the better after the 2008 election or will the status quo continue with Barack Obama or John mccain? Why do politicians always promise “change” but never deliver? As the election nears, I hear a lot of people say, as long as a democrat wins, things will improve. I guess they don’t remember that we elected republican George Bush to get away from democrat Bill Clinton’s foreign interventions in the 1990s. As we continue toward the beginnings of a World War 3 like scenario, neither Barack Obama nor John mccain will slow down our military wheel that has been in motion since World War 2. Unless we stand up and fight this, the worldwide centralization of monetary and political power will continue until it’s too late to fight back. As we move toward a new world order, we must be more active in the political process and ignore the false left right paradigm or we will lose all of our freedoms.
