Elections in 2005 for a transition government (January 30, 2005), a permanent constitution (October 15), and a permanent (four year) government (December 15) produced a broad-based but Shiite-led government that has been unable to reduce Sunni popular resentment. President Bushs January 10, 2007, Baghdad security initiative requires Iraqi efforts to achieve national reconciliation; these efforts have proceeded far more slowly than expected but are not broadly deadlocked.
