China has contributed $1 million to help organize Sunday's election in Iraq, raising questions at home and abroad about how a country that supports balloting in another land can deny its citizens a chance to vote for their leaders.Still more ironic in light of the fact that at least some of Hu Jintao's advisers saw Yushchenko's victory in Ukraine as the specter of a domino effect, leading to China's transformation into a capitalist state via a process of "peaceful evolution". So democracy is OK in some places, at least.
