The election is too close to call, the government says, it's going to take a while to count all of the votes. Everyone should just settle down and be patient. Trust the process, they say.
But the process doesn't seem to be working. There are rumors of ballot fraud and all sorts of shenanigans at the polls. Next thing you know people are demonstrating in the streets demanding a fair count.
Finally the courts step in and rule that the members of one party will not be seated, no matter what the final outcome of the ballot count.
It was the Democrats in Florida in 2000 and in Ohio in 2004. Now it's another Anti-Bush group, the Sunni Arabs. Truly we've succeeded in bringing American style democracy to the region.
Elsewhere in Iraq, nine civilians including children were killed when a suicide bomber detonated her explosives inside a market and an American soldier died when a roadside bomb exploded under the truck in which he was riding.
