Stupid vs. Evil

Two responses to the question, "What are your hopes for Iraq parliament?" [sic] on the BBC website illustrate the difference. First, there's "DRL", from Milton Keynes, England:

I also wonder what emphasis can be put on the much touted 58% turnout for the coalition's elections, when the turnout for Saddam's elections was a lot more than that. Anybody like to enlighten me?

And then there's "Nina" from Toronto, who presumably has the right to vote in my country:

I hate to say this to Iraqis, but I pray for chaos and civil war: it's the only way to stop Bush's policies and show that peace can never come through force. If Iraq gets peace, Bush wins credibility. It cannot be allowed to happen.
