US Urges Iraqi Church/State Separation

You just gotta laugh, right? Imagine these Christian United States of America going off and telling the Prime Minister of Iraq, Ibrahim al-Jaafari, that we’re not all that jazzed about the fact that “democracy” in Iraq seems to be taking shape influenced by religion. Reuters is reporting that the Prime Minister essentially told the US and Britain to mind their own business after being reminded by Zalmay Khalilzad, US ambassador to Iraq, that “the United States, which led the 2003 invasion to topple Saddam Hussein, was investing billions of dollars in Iraq and did not want to see that money go to support sectarian politics.”

I just wish the US felt the same about American politics.
