The election process is alive, but not completely well in Iraq. Recently, elections where held in Iraq and as the results become known, problems began to arise. Much like the United States, losing parties started off by claiming fraud and demanding action taken. However, in Iraq they go one-step further—violence. The losing parties—a coalition of 60—warned of increased violence if new elections where not held. The main problem appears to be the Sunni’s, who reportedly make up the bulk of the present insurgency. While accounting for only 20 percent of the population, they have controlled Iraq’s government for decades. The fall of Saddam Hussein changed all of that and the Sunni’s don’t appear to like it one bit. The Shiites account for 60 percent of the population and the Kurds 20 percent.
