God (when i say God, i could very well be refering to Allah/Buddha/Beelzebub or whatever deity you feel free to worship) knows what the hell i'm likely to write in my blog...i've never had a blog before, never really felt the need to have a blog - come to think of it, it's only from shear boredom i'm even creating this monster!

Al-Yawer Named Iraq's New President
By HAMZA HENDAWI, Associated Press Writer:

On Friday, the far more powerful post of prime minister went to Iyad Allawi, a U.S.-backed Shiite Muslim with military and CIA connections. All sides had wanted the presidency to go to a Sunni Muslim Arab.

Iraqi officials had said Allawi was chosen because he was considered the best choice to cope with the deteriorating security situation.

With more than 800 U.S. military dead since the Iraq war began in March 2003, Washington is eager to see a government that can tackle the security crisis, including a year-old Sunni revolt in Baghdad and areas north and west of the capital and a Shiite uprising to the south.

Another puppet leader for another puppet democracy - for a country (USA) who preaches democracy they may like to try it sooner or later.
