The U.S.-backed Allawi slate is getting only about a third of the votes so far against the Shiite slate, which of course is not what the American government wanted. AND the Shiite slate has close philosophical ties to Iran.

It will be interesting to see how we handle this. It seems Democratic in that people voted for it, but they will have voted in not such a pro-western or democratic slate, if the percentages hold as more ballots are counted.

So is a democratically elected Islamic theocracy really a democratic state at all?
