Religious Groups Take Early Lead in Iraqi Ballots

"Early voting results announced by Iraqi electoral officials on Monday, with nearly two-thirds of the ballots counted, indicated that religious groups, particularly the main Shiite coalition, had taken a commanding lead. The secular coalition led by Ayad Allawi, the former prime minister, had won only meager support in crucial provinces where it had expected to do well, including Baghdad. The front-runner among Sunni Arab voters was a religious coalition whose leaders have advocated resistance to the American military and have demanded that President Bush set a timetable for withdrawing the American military from Iraq".

The 20% of us who knew, those of us who opposed the unnecessary invasion of Iraq, have been right every step of the way. I said even before we invaded Iraq that as far as a threat to the United States and to the Middle East, history will show we were safer with Saddam Hussein in power than what we will be now that Iran and Iraq will be long sought after allies. When you are ignorant of history-it will repeat itself!
