The Iraqi Results

It's Friday night and the weekend looms, so for now I'm going to just link to Reidar Visser's publication of the final but uncertified Iraqi election results, in which ‘Allawi's bloc edged out Maliki's by a mere two seats, and remind you of the qualms I expressed on Monday about drawing major conclusions in such a squeaker election. With that, have a good weekend, and maybe Iraq will be clearer by Monday.
