Democracy > Dictatorship
I hope the elections work out. From what I understand, there are only a few provinces unsafe for voting. It's understandable that the minority, ex-Baathist Sunnis are hesitant to relinquish power and privilege they enjoyed under Hussein, and I think they're making a mistake if they don't vote. In my opinion, there is no way the Coalition will allow civil war to break out and destabilize the region, not after everything they've gone through to get this far.
If the Sunnis boycott the election, it's my understanding that the Shia and the Kurds will be admitting Sunni representatives into the new government anyway.
