The other big story . . .

is that the Shiites won the Iragi elections. It's being played by the media as a victory for Iran, which is run by a junta of Shiite mullahs. I don't know if that is true or not. Iraqi Shiites are not too likely to favor grabbing absolute government power, as the Ayatollahs of Iran have. Time will tell.

Update: Well, that didn't take long. Pejman Yousefzadeh has already reacted to the WaPo story linked above, and is linking others' comments.

Ain't the blogosphere wonderful?
