442 - Democracy

I was watching Charlie Rose last night. They were talking about Iraq and up coming elections. Charlie was talking to Vali Nasr from Tufts University. He is obviously from the middle east so he knows the region. He said that in southern Iraq, instead of the Shiites coming together they are splintering apart. There are over 500 political parties signed up for the up coming elections! Way to show them the way to democracy George!
