It was good to see that so many people went outthere to cast their votes, despite all the threats from the insurgents, but i wonder how much value the outcome will have. Only a mix of representatives of all religeous groups will work i'm afraid. If one group is brushed aside by the outcome of the elections, then i don't expect them to go stand on the sideline until the next elections.There's a good chance the Sunnis won't be represented in the new government, simply because they are a minority. And exactly this minority was in charge for the past few decades, maybe longer, dunno the exact history of Iraqi politics.
