#3 The important thing here may not be the reliability of the poll results, but that the story ran in the Arab News. They've been using the paper to float new ideas and allow reactionaries to have their say as well.

With so many Arab TV stations covering the Iraqi elections, women in Iraqi government roles and what's going on in Lebanon, there will be a shift in consciousness even in the MK.
