Things may actually be even stranger in Iraq.

Some of the Sunnis think that they were suckered into defying death and joining the political process. Now they feel suckered, vulnerable and ignored. Besides, they point out that the rules have been broken by delaying the Constitution when the government should have been dissolved and the process started again.

Before, there was always the magic carrot of the political process in which to hammer out differences but now that's gone POOF!

The representative of the PM OTOH thinks that the Constitution has a good chance of being defeated but that (I think he was smiling) he says is ok and not a disaster. It does, he says with all seriousness, just push back the process a bit AND it proves that there is actual meaning in voting.

Now THAT's putting a sparkling face on the process, maybe he's looking to be hired by the Bush administration to take care of Cindy.
