asantana said this in post #31 :
agreed, they elected, the Sunnies are less in number than the shiats and some even boycoted the elections (their problem)
HECK! said this in post #30 : Don't you remember all the purple-fingered Iraqi's though? They elected the government
-HECK!
That was US propaganda. American gov "elected" oficials to run Iraq and how does having an election in one city of a country be credible. This like only having elections in Texas for Bush elections
Well not really, when you think about Afghanistan a huge amount of the people live in or around Kabul the rest of the country were smaller villages and for the most part I don't think the people in these areas really cared about the elections.

Not really they just kind of get on with life. Of course the bigger villages have a kind of political system manily based on the oldest or best educated making the descions and then there are the areas ruled by the warlords. Fact is that Afghanistans government rules only as far as Kabul the rest of the country is still pretty much acting the way it did before the war.
Back to Iraq the offcial turnout was 54% so thats around 9 million voters around 2% of sunnis refused to vote and the Kurds recieved around 2 million votes so thats around 26%. So if the Kurds recieved that many votes and the sunnis refused to vote then the election had to have been in more than 1 city probably more than 3.
I wonder if Iraq survives as a united country after the civil war they're waging now. Probably there will be three countries: Shia, Sunni and Kurdish. The Kurdish have installed border pickets as I was told.
WEll that is the figure the elction monitors on the ground came used. I also belive it is the accepted figure by all parties including Sunni leaders.
That doesn't make it true. And because this election was imposed by the Bush ad. that has an history of corrupting elections, I know results of Iraq election are false.
