Iranian Shi'ite expansionism update from [1] The Australian, with thanks to JE:

BAGHDAD: Voting results from Iraq's election show that Sunnis, who ran Saddam Hussein's security apparatus, have been all but expunged from the nation's police and military.

The New York Times has reported that in contrast to the remarkable surge in Sunni participation in the political process, partial voting results made public yesterday show the group is severely under-represented in the new security forces.
