"New Iraq gets Kurd President"

Iraq's parliament has elected a new president -- a Kurd, at that. Good for them.

In the words of one parliamentarian:

"This is the new Iraq — an Iraq that elects a Kurd to be President and an Arab former president as his deputy,” parliament Speaker Hajem al-Hassani said after the vote. "What more could the world want from us?"

Indeed. What more?

I wish them the best of luck.
