The Shi'ites Are Coming... The Shi'ites Are Coming... Or Are They??
I heard that the election in Iraq is about 90% counted and that the Shi'ites have about a 2/3rd's majority.

But it seems both the Shi'ites AND the Sunnis want to have ANOTHER election! Can they do that???

WE didn't get to do that! We didn't even have a FAIR election, nor even ONE Bi-Partisan Hearing on Election Fraud here in America!

Is this some kind of NEW Democracy Thingey???

1. You've got some things fuzzy....
A minority (tiny minority) of secular Shi'ites wants a revote.

The Sunni minority just realized that it is also a minority (they've long thought themselves the majority, or a plurality)...so of course they want a revote.

It's not going to happen.

2. Okay... Thanks For The Correction!
But what makes you think there won't be enough of an uproar to prevent a re-vote???

I don't think "the corrupt ones" like what is happening, and they've been able to change far too much already!
