When parliamentarians were told that despite last-minute talks that delayed the session no agreement had been reached, even on the post of parliamentary speaker, several stood up to say leading politicians were letting down the Iraqi people. And then they wished the insurgents were in control! Yeah right. Roadside bombs and suicide killers could govern better than those slow moving elected shmoes.... Actually, its kind of funny. Because of their past struggles, the Kurds have become very effective at negotiating favorable deals for themselves. And its hard to argue with success.....at the present time, the Kurdish part of Iraq is the only one that appears to be prospering at all. The Shi'ites would be smart to let the Kurds take the lead. Actually, the above is probably going to happen for a while in Iraq. Isn't it Taiwan's assembly where they used to always show lawmakers throwing punches at each other? And I recall back before the invasion at the meeting of the Arab league where the Iraqi representative called the Kuwaiti representative "a little monkey"! Yeah, Taiwan and sometimes S. Korea. They really get emotional over their politics. It's going to make for some entertaining TV for a while... Not if they won't let the journalists attend. ted
