Who Would Iraq Elect, Obama or McCain?

Iraq, Baghdad - This week at Alive in Baghdad, with the United States Presidential election looming and Iraq coverage dwindling dramatically, we decided to combine the two topics. Correspondents Nabeel Kamal and Ali Al-Le'abiy hit the streets of Baghdad and interviewed several Iraqis as to their opinion of the candidates.

Our sampling was done in a short timeframe and by no means represents a statistically accurate cross-section of the Iraqi public. However, we do feel that you will hear an array of different opinions, and begin to gain a little insight into how the Iraqi public views the American government and electorate, more than five and years after the invasion.

Please leave comments regarding your own views of the presidential candidates, and how you think they will affect the war in Iraq and how they should respond to these and other Iraqi civilians.

What happened to you guys! Welcome back!

Ron Paul, of course. Nobody wants to be invaded and occupied. Ron Paul wants US troops out of the 130 nations they are currently in. We need to secure our own borders, not build the New World Order for our globalist politicians.

[DOAHunt3r]

But how come Obama isn't willing to just show us his birth certificate?

Can you explain WHY you wouldn't be willing to give a copy of your birth certificate to prove you're American?

[PoliticsAdInfinitum]

Well Africa is a majority black continent, south africa is 80 percent black, so the election of a black president in that country is not news at all. You can't compare it to the magnitude of significance of Obama's election in the US

[Dk510Represent]

You forget that Africa has democracys, and have elected Black presidents.

South Africa is a prime Example.

The U.S has made history by electing the first Black president in a Euro-Centric country in history.

Though there is controversy over whether american presidents in the past with african ancenstry, even if not visible, are to be considered "black".

I am glad Iraqis can speak freely now without being punished under Saddam's regime.

[cowgirl0246]

I wonder how they feel now- knowing that Obama is our president?
