Suntou,

I am glad you were following the Iraq elections. In Iraq there are
religious cults turned political parties. And then there is Iyad Alawi. Alawi has
managed over the years to court both sunni and shiite religious folk to
fashion a political party that aims to govern a nation. The other cults aim to
hijack the instruments of governance to advance narrow cult interest. That
is what Saddam Husein did. And his war with Iran was prosecuted on that
base notion and he found a ready and willing ally in clueless christians.

Iran supports ALawi because Iran's majority Shiites felt threatened by
Saddam's sunni crusade (because he says he is a direct descendant of prophet
Muhammad). So Iran supporting Alawi is not based on special affinity for
ALawi but on intrinsic urge to defend themselves from future persecutions based
on religious beliefs. You will notice AL-Maliki favours the shiite sect
but it is not in Iran's best interest to take the side of Maliki as against
Alawi because Iran is not engaged in occult at this time. They are engaged
in ensuring a benign Iraqi neighbour who cannot threaten their own
existence. That is the main reason behind Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons. It is
not to wipe out Israel as Ahmadinejad's rhetoric may suggest. It is in
defense of the Iranian nation against all madmen and women.

I am very pleased at Alawi's win albeit narrow. It portends a new dynamic
for the region and I encourage Suriyya and Saudiyya to give him their
support and accompaniment in national governance. He will have to form a
coalition afterall. I will choose an Alawi coalition government any day against
ultra cult PACs in Iraq.

Thank you SUntou for affording me the opportunity to weigh in on this one.
It risked being neglected and it is too significant to ignore.

Haruna.

Haruna, i watched the signing in ceremony of the health care bill by Obama
on your site. It was a masterful political gain, Obama milked it to the
full. Politics sometimes is beautiful. The opposition in Iraq have won the
election, as usual the rulling party want a recount. Tender moments there.
