Iraq's interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi called on his countrymen to set aside their differences yesterday, a day after Iraqis voted on religious or tribal lines. At a news conference, Allawi called on Iraqis to join together to rebuild a society shattered by decades of war, tyranny, economic sanctions and military occupation. "The terrorists now know that they cannot win," Allawi said. "The whole world is watching us. As we worked together yesterday to finish dictatorship, let us work together toward a bright future — Sunnis and Shiites, Muslims and Christians, Arabs, Kurds and Turkmen," he said.Electoral Commission official Adel Al-Lami said a first phase of vote-counting at the individual polling stations was finished. Local centers are preparing tally sheets and sending them to Baghdad where they will be reviewed and vote totals compiled. He said the process could take up to 10 days.
