Actually, this is a very good mix in that sense too. You have two Kurdish parties, one of which is more of a tribal leadership and the other is more of modernist. You have a Shia fundamentalist group and you have a Shia secular group with religious undertones. And you have Sunni group. It seems like the perfect mix to flesh out the ideas and lead to political maturity.

Sounds good to me. I am interested to hear you on this. Personally, I've never been able to fully figure out how GOP is different from DNC. Of course I am aware of how one is precieved to be more left than the other and how one is considered to be more business or religion friendly than the other. But in the end, neither can present a coherent picture of what they stand for. It is nothing remotely like the 5 factions you have in Iraq. I would have prefered to have 5 ideologically well defined parties in US instead. What do you think? Are we a single party system with two faces?
