Kobuchi- You must be an United States born citizen to be president of my country as well. If the laws of the Ivory Coast are the same I would have difficulty being critical of them. Take from that what you will. If they ask for help creating an environment conducive to legitimate elections then I am all for lending it.
The rest of your statements are pure propaganda. Hospitals, churches and Mosques are sacred ground only to the extent that we are not shot at from them. Moreover, the hospitals were being used a propaganda machines...many of the Iraqi doctors are former BA'Athist party members and unlike in the south these people are still loyal to Saddam. The idea of all M.D.'s being do gooders is out the window.....Dr. AYMAN AL-ZAWAHIRI M.D.
If we are shot at from, the cinema we will take it out…put money on it.
By the way, was the 13 year old fighting or just a bystander...personally I think a 13 year old with a Kalashnikov is more dangerous than a grown man...but that is just my experience talking? Many people west north of the Ivory Coast would agree.
You don’t see the Dems complaining about the fairness of the elections, why should a Canadian like you worry.
