LOL. Personally, I didn't try to "get a shot below the waist", but to each his or her own, I suppose. ;-) BTW, did you expect to find people you know in those pictures? Re the elections, yes, the Shiite candidates "won", but not by near the margin the doom-sayers said they would. The expectation voiced by many was that the list of, shall we say, less secular candidates would take a majority and be able to impose an Iranian-styled theocracy (allegedly their goal, but that's another baseless assumption of the doom-sayers and another topic) on Iraq. Well, they didn't. They'll have to work with the Kurds, the more secularly incline Shia, and/or Sunnis in writing of the new constitution and in governing until the next elections. As for the Sunnis, their candidates did poorly as expected ("no Sunnis" would not be a correct assessment, BTW). Hard to win seats when potential Sunni voters are held away from the polls by (Sunni) Islamo-Fascist terrorists. But the parties that won most of the seats seem intent on having Sunni participation in drafting the new constitution, which will be followed by more elections where the Sunnis will have another chance to participate in the democratic future of Iraq.
