What has puzzled me nearly from the moment that we invaded Iraq has been what possible incentives would there be for the Sunni Arabs to take part in the political process and abandon resistance to the new Iraqi government. I suppose we can hope but I see no scheme based on population as achieving that: those hoping to restore the old system want more than their numbers would warrant not as much as their numbers would warrant.
