...election, for those who participated, was an unprecedented exercise in mass democracy, flawed as it was. But it will usher in a season of opaque horse-trading among Iraq's new political class, while those who overcame their fears to express their hopes at the ballot box anxiously await results. And the wildcard elements outside the Assembly - from the insurgency whose planners are no doubt simply waiting for the election-weekend ban on all vehicle traffic to be lifted in order to launch a new wave of car bombings, to the radical Shiite populist Moqtada Sadr who kept...
