#1 Whining is better than shooting. Complaining to the Election Commission, thus acknowledging their authority, is best of all. At this moment I am extremely proud to be American.

#2 That last sentence in the post text speaks volumes, but so do two short paragraphs that Fred left out:

"Sunni and Shia Arab parties withdrew from the local election in Tamim province in protest."

"Former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein is said to have sought to Arabise Kirkuk by moving Kurds away and bringing in Arabs from other parts of the country."

#3 Love the al Jazeera euphemisms. "sought to Arabise Kirkuk by moving Kurds away" is technically true if the destination were mass graves.

#4 "Sunni and Shia Arab parties withdrew from the local election in Tamim province in protest."

Yeah, the vote was "rigged" all right, but not by the Kurds.
