A Litmus test: Iraq holds elections

Today voters in 14 of Iraq's 18 provinces went to the polls to
elect new provincial councils. These are the first provincial elections
since the contests in January 2005 that, along with the national elections
held at the same time, were part of the backdrop to Iraq's slide into
sectarian politics. What has changed in Iraq in the meantime? What could the
impact of these elections be?
