Iraqi Elections

[El Blanco]

The date is the 30th, right? That gives us about a week for doom and gloom predictions. Lets all call for the end of the world and then see what materializes.

Personally, I think the next seven days will show us some of the most desperate and viscious fighting most of us have ever witnessed.

Shit on the level of the Japanese after Midway and the Tet Offensive.

However, just like those two examples, the attacks will utlimatly be colossal failures. The elections will be held, leaders will be chosen, and Iraq can become its own country.

Will insurgents keeps fighting? Undoubtedly. Will it be anything like we've seen latly or will see for the next week? No.

As for the result of the elections: Some wil be elated, some will be pissed, but IRaq, and the world as a whole will probably accept the outcome and try and build from there.
