" The association is already calling for a boycott of the vote, and if many Sunni heed its call, the legitimacy of the election could be deeply undermined.

How does a bunch of soreheads sitting out an election de-legitimize it? That is just assinine.

Yeah, if the Sunnis sit out they can have fun dealing with a government entirely composed of Shia and Kurds. You know, they Sunnis better get with the program. They spent 40 years raping and pillaging and if they don't want to see (their) blood running in the streets they better start flying right.

I've heard the idea of giving the Kurds the oil in the north, give the Shiites the oil in the south, and let the Sunni eat sand. I like it.
