War, What War?

So in case you missed it because you were freaking out about that massive financial crisis that the rest of the blogosphere seems to be really interested in, Iraq finally reached a deal on a provincial elections law! (This in the same week that they reached a deal with Shell Oil and tied for second on the Transparency International list of most corrupt countries.)

Iraqologist over at Abu Muquwama (perhalps the best blog period?) has a great post on how the elections will actually work and some fo the problems that may arise. (And as an explanation for the abreviations: PTB=Powers that Be and PTA=Powers that Arent. These come from another great post here.)
