Iraqi Count Downs

"Few days ago I noticed that there is couple of count downs and one count up (if there is such a thing as a count up) on the Iraqi TV stations.
The first count down is at Al-Diyar TV one of the Many Iraqi satellite TV stations which emerged right after the war. The count down if for the Iraqi provincial councils’ elections, due for Next February 2009. This election is one of the Major Mile stones n Iraqi politics and the election campaign is really starting strong and the results are really highly anticipated. Even though, the Iraqi people are really frustrated from the performance of both the Local and Central government, and many have expressed that they would never go to another election and vote for any one again, yet they also realize if they do not then they will end up with the same inefficient and corrupt politicians and officials. In addition to that, the result of this elections, if it was fair and not tampered with, will be a good indication for what the picture is gone be like in the coming general elections by the end of 2009.it will be more like the Golden Globe awards which will tell you what you should expect at the Academy awards night."
