i find 60% voting under their conditions to be quite admirable, isn't it more than the average american voting rate? and that's without death threats on voters!

It does seem it may have been a flawed plan to boycott the election since that means the Sunnis are now unrepresented by the results. Democracy is the tyranny of the majority, unfortunately. Could it be that democracy isn't the best option for Iraq? Gasp! It should have been up to them to decide which is why this election will not establish an effective government for the long run.
