Bad news coming from Iraq, conflict between the Shiite Muslim and Kurdish people over an election will likely postpone the election to February. This conflict violates Iraq's own constitution as well as jeopardizes Obama's own vow, to bring the U.S's troops back home by August 2010. This violates the Iraqi constitution because the Shiite Muslim and Kurdish legislators actually teamed up with one another to take seats away from the Sunnis. Although these actions may be put the constitutionality in question, these leaders do not seem concerned at all. One scary point that a Kurdish legislator stated was, "Nobody's applying the constitution anyways, we are in a mess now so it doesnt make much of a difference." This just furthers expresses the sectarian conflicts that could push Iraq into Civil war.

I feel that the Shiite and Kurdish people's choice of teaming up against the Sunni is a very unwise one. They already know that if further conflicts against each sect could provoke a civil war. Also this is makes all the efforts of the U.S. seem wasteful. Many of the the soldiers have been there for a while now, and it seems that the Iraqis dont wanna fix their problem. The fact that the legislator said that they do not even follow their own constitution is scary.
