Sheik Faidh Mohamed Amin al-Faidhi, a member of the Association of Muslim Scholars, was shot by gunmen at his home in northern Mosul — a sign of the continuing violence that wracks the country.

The slaying could further alienate Iraq's Sunni Arab minority ahead of the Jan. 30 election. The association is already calling for a boycott of the vote, and if many Sunni heed its call, the legitimacy of the election could be deeply undermined.

Is someone keeping track of how "alienated" each of the factions is or how legitimate the election will be?

How much more alienated can these guys get? It seems to me that we have to be pretty close to total alienation, I mean really, we have taken control of the country, deposed their president and jailed his butt among other things?

Is there some sort of alienation meter we can use to measure this?

Is the alienation meter similar to a BULL$HIT METER?

Is there a legitimacy meter?

If so, where does "deeply undermined" lie on the meter?
