#1 I guess that means that Germany, Italy, and Japan have never had valid elections.

I guess it is true, though, that the 60% turnout is some 40% lower than the last election, where the choices were:

A. Saddam Hussein
B. Fed into shredder

#2 Some of these Sunni leaders need to get their heads examined (they also need a shave). If more Sunnis had voted, the Shiite list would have gotten way below 48%, and Sunni leaders would have a bigger say in the new constitution.

#3 The AMS guy that opens up early ought to show up some morning and find a black smoking hole where their clubhouse used to be.

#4 I guess we should listen to the Association of Oxymorons about what constitutes a legitimate election.
