The different factions and their history are going to make it difficult to set up, security and stability.

If the elections go ahead as planned. I would place my money on the "interim prime minister" Allawi.

1. He’s a Shiite. (Largest of all-the the factions).
2. Although he is secular, he reportedly has the support of the country's top Shiite cleric (Grand Ayatollah al-Sistani).
3. He just married a prominent Kurdish woman. Which reminded me of Kerry/Heinz…lmao!

The Sunnis are in some serious trouble, which makes them “ripe” for foreign influence by these so-called insurgents or terrorists. If you think for a second the Shiites and Kurds will not try, to quell the Sunnis as they position themselves for some political power, after being knocked around for 20-plus years?

Think about the “KISS” principle…”Paybacks a bitch”!
