The Sunnis are in

  I was chatting with Treasure of Baghdad, he led my attention to an article posted by the Washington post, the article is titled Iraqi Sunnis register to vote in droves, that made me think. They are right, the last couple of times I went to the mosque, there were posters all over the walls, and they were distributing leaflets about the necessity of voting. Fact is that in the last voting, most Sunnis failed to vote, and I'm one of them, but this time is going to be different. Almost every Sunni I know has already registered to the voting, the Imam at the mosque tells at the end of each Friday sermon how necessary it is to go vote, although he gives other reason, like not letting US take control over Iraq, but the result is the same, people deciding their own future themselves, by voting instead of other means.

  One of these leaflets, I remember, told about the results of the last voting, when most Sunnis missed it, and the results expected if they vote now, it was titled, The Comparison Between the Two Wrongs, as I saw it, since that leaflet was written as a religious leaflet, not a political one. It made a comparison between the results of voting and not voting. It specified the only reason in not voting as "The refusing of these elections as they are illegal.". But it specified the goods achieved in voting as "Participating in the government, getting the Americans out of the country as soon as possible by peacefully means and making the country a safe place to live in for the first time since 35 years"
