BLOOMINGTON – Iraqis go to the polls on March 7 to elect a new Parliament for the second time under the country’s permanent constitution of 2006. Many scholars believe that it is the second general election, not the first, which is the most important test of any new democracy.
发自巴格达 —— 伊拉克民众将于 3 月 7 日奔赴各投票点，在 2006 年制定的永久宪法框架下第二度选举出自己的议会。而许多学者都认为，倘若要对一个新生民主政权进行检验的话，第二次大选要比首次大选意义更重大。如果此话当真，这几场选举似乎正预示着一个不祥的未来。
