Iraqi Prime Minister’s Party Wins
It seems Iraqi’s looked outside of religion for leadership at the polls:
BAGHDAD — Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s allies swept to victory over Shiite religious parties during last weekend’s provincial elections in Iraq — a rousing endorsement of his crackdown on extremists, according to official results released Thursday.
The impressive showing, which must be certified by international and Iraqi observers, places al-Maliki in a strong position before parliamentary elections late this year and could bolster U.S. confidence that it can begin withdrawing more of its 140,000 troops.
The results were a major blow to Iraq’s biggest Shiite religious party — the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council — which trailed in every Shiite province including its base in the holy city of Najaf.

How dare you put a positive spin on this election, Shawn? Don’t you understand that Iraqis are a primitive culture surrounded by 100′s years of sectarian strife? Sure Sadam was a murderous dictator, but he was the only one who could monitor these baboons. Dictators are the natural progression during the evolution of a civilization.
Don’t you know that?
Wait… Somehow oil is involved in all of this. I just know it.
