OKAY, I'M BACK
...just about. Stuff tonight, or possibly tomorrow. Now off to Subway for a Jared-approved 'wich, not that I'm on a diet or anything.
Chew on this for now, about the implications of "crisis talks" regarding Bremer and the transition of power in Iraq. In short, the CPA's "seven-step" plan to transfer power to an Iraqi democracy is in deep doo-doo, particularly given that the Shi'ite majority in the Governing Council is acting like, well, the Republican majority, and that the Council recommends elections before the drafting of a constitution, rather than the other way around as Bremer wants. So we'll end up with a Shi'ite-dominated government that probably wont be democratic, or we'll overenfranchise the Sunni minority, paving the way for a dandy ol' civil war. Or it'll end up in complete chaos. O what a tangled occupation we weave.
