it\'s either walk the bush way and get the hot news, or not walking the bush way and get the news afterwards or not at all. journalism is a battle for news, anything is allowed...

Take \'fundamentalist\' back and i agree with you.

What\'s your definition of country... Iraq is (and was) nothing more than a bunch of lines on a map with a flag, just like Yugoslavia. In the end it will fall apart like Yugoslavia, and any other state that tries to get people from very different cultural and reliuous groups to live together and feel ike a nation.

Sunnis had the power (while being representative for about 20-30% of the polulation) the rest didn\'t. It\'s because they are certain that they loose the vote (and they will, esecially when they keep boycotting the elections) that they don\'t want the election.

What i think the result of these elections should be is a divison in two or three semi-independent parts (Kurdish north, Shiite south and Baghdad and the area around it as a special region) with their own governments, and a central government that handles national matters. Most likely it\'s a dream that won\'t become reality...
