freedom's progress in middle east

the anti-syrian alliance won a majority of the 128 seat national assembly of the multi-phased elections. while it is not as strong a majority as they had hoped, it is a welcome turn after the victories by hezbollah and pro-syrian factions in previous phases of elections.

unfortunately, the results in iran were not as promising, essentially leading to a run-off between the lesser of two evils.
