They'll get their chance to vote in the next election. Still enough Sunni Muslims were elected to maintain checks and balances on the Shia or Kurds. They'll all have to figure out how to work with each other or end up like the US Congress . The same crap happens in the US. There are always people complaining about the government and half of them didn't even make it to the polls. I say "right on" to the Iraqi people. They had a higher percentage turn out at the polls than the US has had in the last 100+ years. The part that gets me is people calling it a US installed government. What a load of BS. Most of the US Backed candidates lost and will not be part of the government.

Congrats to the people in Lebanon as well. It takes a lot of ballz to pull of what they're pulling off.
