[quote="Short Hand":1a7f0][quote="Eight Ace":1a7f0]The minority sunnis appear to be boycotting the election, seeing as it's them
that are behind most of the attacks and them that are used to being in power
when saddam was ruling...I think they will reject any election outcomes and
keep up the attacks hoping to provoke civil war. I think these sunnis would
rather see iraq destroyed than ruled by shi'ites and kurds.[/quote:1a7f0]

.. minoriity sunni's ? You do know they are the" majority in Iraq over the shiites & kurds put together... right ? oOo:[/quote:1a7f0]

I think if you would check [url=http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/iz.html:1a7f0]this[/url:1a7f0] page you will find this tidbit.

Muslim 97% (Shi'a 60%-65%, Sunni 32%-37%), Christian or other 3%

You also can't really count the Kurds in this comparison because being a Kurd is an ethnic not a religious classification.
