Yeah, everyone knows that it is the Sunni cities that have the problems, and that is because it was the minority Sunnis who for years oppressed the rest of the population, and its hard for them to give up power. So? If the Sunni insurgency decides to continue its campaign of violence against the rest of Iraqis, probably a large portion of the "rest of Iraqi's" resources will go to squashing the Sunni insurgency, and they will become 2nd class citizens in the country, and remain so until the decide to play ball and participate in the new country. It's their choice. If they resist to the end, it will be their end, not the "rest of Iraqi's" end. Whether Iraq becomes peaceful and they get their fair 20% share of government, or Iraq remains anarchic until they all get killed, is in their hands.

>The greatest turnout was among the Kurds........they are saying it looks like 80 to 90% of the Kurdish registered voters turned out. But a Kurdish exit poll showed that about 95% of the Kurds who voted want an independent Kurdish state, which is probably bad for the equilbrium in the ME. You'd figure that most of them turned out to vote because they thought voting would help bring them a state. Granted, it's a Kurdish poll, but it's probably not exaggerating that much. -Z
