Yes, there's no doubt that the delay in forming the new government gave the terrorists time and hope to regroup and use the car bombs they had prepared for the election but couldn't use then. But the good news is that Iraqis are tough to terrorize. The bombs have lost their effect, men keep signing up for the police & national guard, all the Iraqis see is Syrians and Saudis coming from other countries to kill them. I found it striking that the Iraqis say that suicide bombing is foreign to Iraq, and not one suicide bomber was shown to be Iraqi. So what are the terrorists going to achieve besides killing bunches of civilians? Meantime, major Sunni parties have signed onto the next elections.
