BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's parliament elected Kurdish leader Jalal Talabani as the country's new president on Wednesday, breaking a political impasse and paving the way for a new government more than nine weeks after historic elections.

He is the first Kurd to be Iraq's president, underlining the new clout of the minority that backed the U.S.-led invasion in 2003.

The two vice presidents were named as Adel Abdul Mahdi, a Shi'ite who was finance minister in the outgoing government, and Sunni Arab tribal leader Ghazi Yawar, the previous president.

could things be getting good in Iraq? Is peace at hand in the middle east?

Or will 10,000 religious extremests strom the Temple Mount and spoil the whole thing?
