BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- The Kurdish leader expected to be selected Iraq's transitional president said the recently elected National Assembly will form a government when it meets next week.

The Shiites and Kurds have nearly finished their talks, he said, and their goal is to bring more factions into the government, such as interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi's coalition and Sunni Arabs.

The bolded text above shows that the lessons of divisiveness have been learned and an inclusive, rather than an exclusive, government is the goal. Such a government is certain to succeed.
