Here are the people who run The National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI), which calls itself "a nonprofit organization working to strengthen and expand democracy worldwide."
"NDI works with democrats in every region of the world to build political and civic organizations, safeguard elections, and to promote citizen participation, openness and accountability in government."
Safeguard elections? They certainly did not do that for the Iraqi people. The "work" they did in Iraq earned the NDI group many millions of dollars for organizing elections that lack any transparency. The Iraqi elections were designed to be a sham.
And they want to build a "model democracy" in the Middle East?
I don't think so.
Here is the cast:

Chairman of NDI, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright (nee Korbel, on the right), daughter of Josef Korbel, the Bohemian Jew art thief who remade himself into a professor at the University of Denver, where he mentored her successor, Condoleeza Rice, in the finer points of global graft and fraud.
On the left is former UN Ambassador Richard C. Holbrooke, another Jewish member of the Clinton team. Holbooke is one of the directors of the National Endowment for Democracy, the parent organization of the NDI.
