On the election

Will Iraqis vote for a secular government?

Prediction: Allawi and his party will win the Dec. 15 elections.

Why? Because of idiocy like this:

In a rare joint statement, Al-Qaida in Iraq and four other Islamic extremist groups denounced the election as a ‘satanic’ project and said that ‘to engage in the so-called political process’ violates ‘the legitimate policy approved by God.'”

It really irks me when people think they have a lock on God’s will for and work to enact it upon everyone else.

Note: I have no influence whatsoever over the outcome of the elections. I’m just here to ensure that Iraqis have choices.
