No surprise there. When I did a search on "Iraq election results" I finally found the article above, obviously written with gritted teeth, filled with the patented Canadian hand-wringing about "Sunni opposition" and "slumping support". > The report begins thus: > "Despite stiff Sunni opposition, a majority of Iraqis voted for the draft constitution, a triumph in the fragile, nation-building process and a rare victory for the American president struggling to shore up slumping public support for his wars to topple tyrants and install democracies" > Several paragraphs into the article was the following grudging admission: > "An elated President George W. Bush hailed the official results of the Oct. 15 referendum, saying it was a key step in planting democracy in the Arab world and justified both the war to topple Saddam Hussein and the ongoing battle against the stubborn insurgency."
