January is wrong time of year for Iraqi elections

Postby yorick » Sat Nov 27, 2004 12:40 am

Iraqi elections held between Ramadan and the Hadj??

None of the post-election energy that motivates cabinet members will occur since Holy days are just around the corner. And with millions of hitch-hikers, pilgrims and campers booting to Mecca it isnt exactly the greatest time for a fresh administrations to dig in and set up shop at building a unified base in Bahgdad....... errr, maybe it is if faking out Iraqis and giving em something they dont really want is the plan - but how will that last?

Plus January elections set a stupid precident as Ramadan interferes with pre-election campaigning on the part of candidates whose faith forbids them from profane concerns during the fast.

Who the fuck cooked up the idea of January elections anyhow?? These are Musims for cryin out loud! And they sure as shit dont want to see their faith fucked up with political shenanigans occuring at the same time.

I like the October idea successfully done at Afghanistan. Thus Cabinet Ministers and general populace alike have Ramadan as period of meditation with political leadership comfortably in place. And 6 months later, a proper incubation time, government plans can come together in keeping with the seasons. Plus Mideast Summertime allows for relaxed pre-election campaigning on the part of candidates without interference.

Assalamu Alaikum, what's the opinion of the room regarding best time of year for holding Iraqi elections?

But a postponement of the election would look like an unnecessary delay. A stall tactic. Make the States look like it cant keep its promises. To the insurgents that is.

The main issue seems to be security. Will there be a boycott? Will the populace stay away from voting stations if they dont appear safe?

They say free and fair elections cant take place if US troops occupy the country and intimidation takes place in communities so that people stay away from voting stations.

Curious thing that they say with more time they can make sure
voting is more safe and secure.


What is a Shia to a Muslim who practices Sunni religion when an election needs to be called? Huh?

Yesss!!!! With Muslim New Year occurring at February in 2005 and the early January Hadj wrapping up for the most part well before Easter this is an excellent time that might work!!

And with an early Ramadan next October, the only other option would be late September. Albeit one of the bloodiest months for Iraqi resistance elements over the past two years, not exactly a good idea.

No doubt hostilities lessen during the Hadj as they have in the past and it can hurt nobody to name candidates in early January (as scheduled, yet prior to the Hadj) - then to have this, the first Iraqi election, scheduled following the return of the Muslim conscience refreshed after stones have been thrown in Mecca and Medina.

No doubt the League of Arab Nations can also appreciate elections being held *following* the Hadj at 2005. And with the event of elections on the immediate horizon, unburdening of the Islamic soul at Mecca and Medina can provide a more hospitable atmosphere at the polls, doncha think, even in spite of agressively uniformed and heavily armed presence of occupation forces that stir up resistance wherever they go - as oppression always leads to equal and opposite resistance (Einstein the physicist said this, i think)

Furthermore, an Easter election day comes closer to the previously established "Iraqi Independence Day" of April 14th that USSpooks under previous failed initiative along the same lines had feebly attempted to establish in an untimely manner - naming it too soon, pandering to their own design, yet also anticipating the subliminal event of democratic elections.

Another benefit at Easter 2005 is that Abrahamic Rival Faiths Judaism and Christianity get tied up with their own concerns at Easter..... enabling Iraqis to enjoy the spiritual privacy and freedom of thought that they deserve at electing their own leaders. Something that might only be appreciated at higher planes of consciousness as egregores eventually gather at one place unknown after passing through corrupted webs and wrappings at lesser levels on the astral plane and others (as practiced, preached upon and influenced from the imperfect mundane and somewhat earthbound political level).

LowCraw, I like Easter 2005 for Iraqi elections..... and then ballancing into April for perpetuity - assured of foundation in cooperation with further refinements along cyclical timelines into the future that can benefit the realm at large. All this and more from USInvasion at Iraq occurring in April 2003!!
