Iraq...what democracy?

I want to talk about  the protest that has been going on in Iraq.  Yesterday when I was reading  the news on the web I read that 6 Iraqis died and 11 wounded just b/c they were protesting. The news also said they we shoot by Iraq police and u know who these guys get their commands from. If the US really wanted to give Iraq its freedom and own government it wont have given these orders to the police to fire at any protesters. I really hate this.

Wooh, such assumptive logic! If I used this logic, I could prove ANYTHING

1>The police were in Basra, therefore orders were given by British command.

2> What a single Iraqi police officer does is NOT capable ofbeing controlled by anyone. He has a gun, is entrusted to a security position. Those officers shot because they aren't used to protestors.

"Iraqi police, believing they were under attack, opened fire into the crowd but did not hit any protesters, she said. But witnesses said the police killed some protesters."

Let's think a little here, shall we? If there had been an order to fire on the crowd, a LOT more than 6 people would have died. Do you believe that when a cop in the US shoots someone for the wrong reason, it was an order to do so?? Of course not. what I really hate is jumping to conclusions.
