#1 This sounds to me like the acid test to see if Iraq, as an entity, a particularly artificial entity, can hold together.

Since they're Arab Sunnis, lol, there is absolutely no way to predict the final answer. The only certainty is that the proceedings will be rancorous and full of pointless posturing and preening and seething from Tuesday forward. There's no track record to support anything less divisive.

We shall see, but this might be prime for an RB Futures item. Color me pessimistic. Sigh.
