Is this signal or is it noise? Either way I think we can all appreciate the sentiment...

"The results won’t really matter when so many people boycotted the elections. No matter what the number say, the reality of the situation is that there are millions of Iraqis who will refuse to submit to an occupation government. After almost two years of occupation, and miserable living conditions, we want our country back."

The Sunnis comprise the segment that did not vote: many could not, and many do regret they did not: they did not expect so many to turn out.
The elections were a strange and wonderful sight, and the Iraqi's are encouraged.
However, it is will a certain dull certainty I know that George will be able to fuck up just about anything. There will come a tipping point...
