Dance of the politicians

"There are some reports in the Iraqi press that say the results of the December election will be announced either tomorrow or Monday. This story adds the interesting news that the Shiites and the Kurds failed to get two-thirds of the parliamentary seats.

If the story is correct and the Shiites and Kurds to not have the necessary two-thirds to control Parliament, it means good news for Iraq. This suggests that the clerics will not be able to block changes to the constitution. It also suggests that the Sunni-secular coalition might actually have an impact."
