Sure, it does change things a little...but not that much.

Maybe the reason why al-Jaafari is supporting #####e militia is because he's a #####e? Should that really be any surprise? I can only assume that a Sunni PM would support the Sunni militia too...i guess the question is why the #####e militias are running around in the first place? Perhaps a lack of any security in the region, where you now have to have these groups each protecting their own little piece of territory.

With all the rah-rah talk of democracy and how it is working, the context of the initial post does not change - it merely pointed out that the administration is not in support of the democratically elected Prime Minister of Iraq.

Imagine if they decide to democratically elect a religious theocracy in Iraq?
