While we're dealing in hypotheticals here, would you see an election where a large number of Sunnis either were not able to register and vote (because they are living in restive areas or have become refugees from their homes in such areas) or chose to boycott as being reflective of the will of the people? In other words, that the government was representative of the segment of the voting population who believe in the democracy we're trying to create over there and that was good enough?
Not a gotcha question here, just curious about how you'd define success in this environment.
