Interview: Going from Bad to Worse
The coming few months are crucial ones for all those opposed to war and imperialism, as Lindsey German explains to Andrew Stone.
What do you think we can expect from the elections in Iraq at the end of the month?
Nothing will fundamentally change as a result of the elections. If they go ahead - and it looks like they will - very large parts of the country will be effectively excluded. Sunnis in particular feel very disaffected and want to boycott. There are many other parties who've also called to delay the elections. And most of the people who want to go ahead are doing so because they feel that this will then put them in a position to tell the Americans to leave.
