Elections

Iraqi election is over, the votes have been counted, Shiites won the most votes though not an absolute majority. These are for the most part the guys who would like to turn Iraq into Iran, and I am quite sure it's not what we wanted. Sorry for being such a cynical bitch, but what exactly is the point of establishing democracy by force if the buggers are still not gonna vote the way we want them to?

Saudi Arabia had its first male municipal election (meaning that only men were allowed to run and vote, not that citizens were elected to become men), and it was apparently mostly won by islamists. I wonder how fundamentalist do you have to be to be considered an islamist in Saudi Arabia...
