I admit that I *did* oversimplfy this, Iraq is actually pretty much as simple a concept to grasp as Souvlaki fur auslanders. :)But I digress ... the SUNNI "minority" pretty much rules where any "rule" was possible under "Saddam" but in Iraw, they were the "chosen people" and the Shi'ites were the "Jews" for lack of a better parallel. But the point remains - the SUNNIs largely boycotted this "election" for whatever reason. As a result, the outcome is likely to be "unaccepted" and is very VERY likely to result in a civil war ... that was my primary point, I'm often in too much of a hurry in the limited time I have to spend here to go TOO deeply into the nuances ... I *wish* I had the time, I'm very MUCH interested in world politics and "America"'s place in it all. There's SO many things that WE and the WORLD could have done a bit smarter, and that's something I've always been interested in (when time permits, unlike now) ... |
