Everybody seems to agree that it has been a most productive morning, and as they depart, the sheiks make sure to compliment the al-Hais chieftains, Mohammed and Hamid, who beam with satisfaction. "This is politics, Anbar style," says Hamid. And what does he think of the election? "The only way anybody else...
