As stated, after a long series of post election Iraqi recounts, Maliki may have finally emerged
as a narrow loser. As Alawi may replace him as top dog.

But who can predict what happens next, no one has close to a majority needed to form a government without many coalition partners, as we all fasten our seat belts and hope Iraqi events do not spin out of control.

And in my hopefully over pessimistic opinion, Maliki may try to seize power the non-democratic way now that he is backed into a corner.

And already there has been a big increase of Iraqi violence after the elections.

And by my other readings, Alawi would be more popular with Sunnis than Malaki.

Ancient Chinese Curse, may we live in changing times.
