"If you want to have a united iraq, the new govt must be inclusive. IF not you go to 3 state and a rump taliban minority ruled state.

Now it gets interesting...

Have you forgotten about the radical Muktada Al-Sadr? He hasn't forgotten about us and it looks like his ticket is the big winner in this election. I am looking for news on what that means but so far am coming up empty. He hedged the whole way. He at times has condemned the whole election operation but recently has been very quite (bombs going off in his region though). He is riding on Sistani's clear victory (Remember Sistani is an Iranian who can't even vote). The Shi'ites are dancing in the streets carrying posters of Sistani and Al-Sadr.

Al-Sadr is just as anti-west as Zaraqawi.
