Iraq's elections
were delayed time and time again, while the occupation and
resistance grew ever more deadly. Now it seems that two years of bloodshed,
bribery and backroom arm-twisting were leading up to this: a deal in which the
ayatollahs get control over the family, Texaco gets the oil, and Washington
gets its enduring military bases. Everyone wins except the voters.
