An Iraqi protester chants anti-government slogans while riot police stand guard in front of the Basra provincial headquarters during a demonstration in Basra, Iraq's second-largest city, 550 kilometers (340 miles) southeast of Baghdad, Iraq, Friday, March 4, 2011. In the southern city of Basra, about 1,000 people converged on the Basra provincial council building. Reminiscent, is it not, of images from the Arab dictatorships. Iraq is no more than a US dictatorship by proxy. The repression of dissent in the coming weeks and months will give the lie once and for all to the surrogate election of Maliki and his thugs. Anyone for Bush and Blair's 'new democracy' ?
