Iraq Elections
Seem to be settling in. No final results yets but Iraq the Model continues to keep us updated. Two developments overnight.
1) re the Zarqawi message for the Sunni's to get out of politics and back onto the "right path" gave us
"The Islamic Party didn’t need much time to voice their rejection for Zarqawi’s message and his ideology that recognizes only violence as a way to reach goals.
The 2nd man in the Islamic Party Ayad al-Samarra’i stressed that the Party has no intention to abandon the political process.
Salih al-Mutlaq is another Sunni politician who apparently feels that Zarqawi was addressing him as well. Al-Mutlaq has also condemned violence again today and stressed that “ending violence is the key to stability in Iraq”."
2) "The second important development in Iraq today was the Kurdish decision to nominate Jalal Talabani for presidency after a period of hesitation."
