Iraq: Annan shows some sense 

Annan to Back Indirect Elections in Iraq, Diplomats Say: "Secretary General Kofi Annan has decided to endorse the view that the interim government to take office in Iraq this summer cannot be chosen by direct elections, but he will delay for at least a week his recommendation on how best to chart the country's political future, senior United Nations diplomats said today."

Good news. Now the Shiites won't, at least for now, be able to run roughshod over the minorities in the country.
