Interesting piece on Iraqi elections
Starting the day with a sneer
Alice Miles/Times Online (UK) Original Article
THERE IS a shocking tendency, and I’m sorry to say that it seems to be led by the Today programme, to be more interested in the failure of elections in Iraq than in their success. The “story”, as the doomsayers apparently see it, is in the death threats and those intimidated out of voting and in the boycott by the Sunni minority which happily repressed the Shia majority for decades under Saddam Hussein.
