Iraq election could be delayed

This is according to the Iraqi deputy PM, which I think would be a huge mistake. If the elections are delayed, the terrorists will believe their violence has had success. I think the best strategy would be to hold elections with those people who are peaceful and who want to move their country forward participating. Once the resisters see that they cannot delay progress, they will be less inclined to oppose the advances being made and will instead realize that their only future will lie in being active members of and participants in the new Iraqi government.
