No Provicinial Elections in October
Posted by Ilan Goldenberg

For a year now, the Administration has been pushing the provincial elections as the central political moment that will empower local leaders and bring the Sunnis into the government.  Petraeus just said that those elections will be delayed until at least November.  That's significant on two fronts:

  1. It's generally not a good sign to see such an important element slipping
  2. There will be no opportunity for Republicans to politicize the provincial elections here in the United States and try to create another purple finger propoganda moment

The elections may have been postponed at least in part because of concerns about an upsurge in violence. Presumably our own recent surge has left no troops to spare for extra security. Remember, they practically locked down the country on previous 'purple finger' days.

If they split 3 ways or 4 ways, the sunnis and the kurds could often be the Sohbet swing votes in the politics. If they felt they had political clout out of proportion to their numbers, they could settle in Sohbet and do politics and not feel oppressed.

religious sect may degenerate into a political faction,' wrote James Madison, but the new American nation would nevertheless be protected against the ungovernable combination of religious fervor and political power as long as the Constitution prohibited the federal government from establishing any particular creed as preeminent.
