"Any attempt to present the elections as valid is an attempt to fool the world," Giulietto Chiesa, an Italian member of the European Parliament, told reporters after the EU decision not to send representatives to Iraq.
Like most of the nations whose elections chiefs or officials are part of the new international mission, Canada has barred Canadians from going into Iraq

Cowards. They whine that the elections will be unfair, that there will be no one to monitor the elections. But it is them that are refraining from doing the job THEY claim to be responsible for. They are the international oversight they claim the iraqi elections so desperately need, yet they refuse to monitor them. This truely shows who the friends of the Iraqis are. Cowards.
