Do Over...Iraqi style
Last month elections were held to form the new 'temporary' government of Iraq in a parliamentary form. Conspicuously absent were the Sunni's, who boycotted the election. They did so mainly in an attempt to thwart the legitimacy of the vote and in so doing energize the insurgency.
Yesterday, Sunni leaders accepted the offer of the three leading voting groups, the Shia, the Kurds and the Allawi lead faction to come into the newly formed government. Though the Sunni make up 1/5 of the population they managed to only get a handful of seats do to their boycott.
Miraculously, the spirit of democracy has shown like the sun on the newly planted field (with some inducement by the Bush Administration)and inspired those who lived through the brutal reign of the Sunni to reach out to their fellow Iraqi. All in the attempt to help create a greater re-birth of the Iraqi state.
Rarely in human history can one recall such an offering. The wisdom and benevolence of this act by the winners will undoubtedly help suppress the insurgency. The undertaking will let some of the air out of the Sunni support for the foreign lead insurgency. Iran is going to have a much tougher fight on their hands from Akbar and Ansi Iraqi.
I wonder why you may have missed this worthy of front page news in your local paper, your national paper, your local or national Mainstream News source, but rest assure this is the most momentous day in Iraqi's future. Outside of the first election, this is going to be a holiday before the next generation has the opportunity to vote in 20 years!
