the outcome of the election

It's almost for sure going to take a long time to build Iraq back up in a good way.  Maybe the infrastructure would go faster, but I've heard that different groups of people in Iraq hate the living daylights out of each other, or at least enough do that someone will need to keep them under control tlong enough to get a more stable country that can keep the fights down.

My way to describe Iraq, at present, is like New York with nine competing crime families after a major mafia don gets assassinated, circa 1950's.

Clannish, and passionate about their relative positions and jockeying for power.
