IRAQI ELECTIONS ARE VIABLE BY JUNE: At least that's what the British are saying. Juan Cole (link via Kevin Drum) says the Brits' about face is payback for American condescension. Simple fear of the Shi'ites may also have played a role.

But what if the Brits actually believe elections are the right thing to do? What if elections are the best way to promote a democratic and orderly transition? No question the British are respoinding to Shi'ite pressure. But that may be a good idea.
