I'll take
Should late suspensions of MPs after Iraq's elections be allowed to affect
the outcome?
Iraq's elections have finally ended with a small victory for Iyad Allawi's
al-Iraqiya party that is secularist and drew a lot of support from Sunnis
although Allawi is a Shia. However his coalition is fragile and Prime
Minister Nouri al Maliki is doing his best to stop him from getting first
chance to form a coalition. The Justice and Accountability Committee has
recommended four of Allawi's candidates be disqualified which would destroy
his two seat advantage.

Work done with anxiety about results is far inferior to work done without
such anxiety, in the calm of self-surrender. Seek refuge in the knowledge of
Brahman. They who work selfishly for results are miserable. --"Bhagavad
