Rumor is that we can expect Kurdish Sunni Jalil Talabani for President, current president and Sunni Arab Ghazi al-Yawar for Speaker of the Assembly, and a moderate Shi'ite (Chalabi? Mahdi?) for PM. This is something of an attempt to copy the olf Lebanese formula, in use for 80 years with brief interruption during the civil war: Christian president, Sunni PM, Shi'ite speaker. (In the Lebanese case, all were Arab except for two Greek presidents).

Why the heck is a Shi'ite-Kurdish electoral alliance more "unholy" than a black-Puerto Rican-Jewish one, or a Cuban-Southern one?
