Iraq Votes

Posted by Bill

Another big step forward:

Iraqis started voting for a National Assembly that may reduce the power of the governing Shiite coalition as secular and Sunni parties win more seats.
A total of 15.5 million Iraqis are today eligible to decide the composition of the parliament for the next four years, giving the country its first permanent government since the March 2003 U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein. Final results won't be known for several weeks.

Good luck. The degree of Sunni electoral success will have a great deal to do with how the insurgency progresses or folds from this point forward, obviously.

I particularly like this Aussie ABC headline ...

Iraqi voters ignore sporadic violence

... contrasted with this American ABC headline:

Large Blast Heard in Iraq As Polls Open

As per usual for significant benchmarks of Iraq's democratization, a google news search displays interesting ideological rorschach results of media focus.
