what about the amount of Iraqis that also made it seem Bushs plan was working by voting?
Are you saying that it's only a "good cause" if achieving it is all plain sailing, but now a largely non-iraqi
insurgency disagrees, and starts blowing up market places and mosques then it's a bad cause?

Anyone who tries to help set up this system is part of it". He also made it clear that al-Qaida opposes elections
in Iraq because they will result in a Shi'a-dominated government.
He alleged that "the Shiites aim to begin spreading their evil faith among people through money and fear."[/quote:fa56d]
