...they have taken to the opportunity with gusto. (In elections to the nation's federal, provincial and district assemblies in April, nearly 135 million votes were cast for some 165,000 candidates.) In May, about 350 million Indians cast votes in the parliamentary elections, leading to the peaceful transfer of power from one group of political parties to another. Those Asian nations that do not allow freely contested elections among candidates with different political views?such as Burma, Vietnam and of course China itself?are beginning to look like outliers to the dominant trend...
...ordinary Iraqis depends in no small part in demonstrating its independence from the U.S. Nor does the U.S. want to find itself continuing to police the streets of Iraq's cities as it has done for the past 15 months. The answer to both problems, of course, is the transfer of much of the security responsibility to Iraqi security forces...

Clearly many Sunni Iraqi nationalists and Baathists currently share that goal, and are ramping up attacks not only on the Coalition, but particularly on the Iraqi security forces to which the U.S. is hoping to transfer increasing responsibility. At the same time, the recent deal to end the fighting in Fallujah, which handed security responsibility to a unit composed largely of officers of the former military and included some insurgents in its ranks, suggested that at least some among the insurgents may be open to cutting deals...
