Hi,
The results from the Iraqi elections are in, and it seems like they're bad news for the US. The Shiites (United Iraqi Alliance, back by Iranian Ali Sistani) have won with 132 seats out of 275. Kurds came in second with 71 seats, and US-backed Allawi only gets 38 seats.
PROVISIONAL RESULTS
Shia list: 48%
Kurdish parties: 26%
Iyad Allawi list: 14%
Others: 12%

The fact is...Theocratic rule and democracy don't go well together....and never will. The only way this election will have even the remotest possibility of any success will be if the person elected is a moderate and will not be influenced by his clerics. Even then it has only a slim chance of success in the long run...because there are no safe-guards to prevent a theocratic militant gaining power in another election.
You like it or Not My View is There cannot be a Democratic Country in the middle east until they Shed religion as the Ruling Force.
True democratic rule cannot exist in a country bred on theocratic rule.................our democracies survive only due to our societies own apathy toward religion....................we recognize, in principle, the need for the separation of church( or religion) and state.
You like it or not Saddam Hussain Formed a Secular Goverenment by the Only way possible ........ By FORCE .......... i don't see any other way it is possible there .
