Reuters indicates that 72% of registered Iraqi's turned out to vote with 3 hours to go before polls closed. That is wonderful! That is the voice of freedom speaking loud and clear. It's not a perfect election, but we can't even have one here. I say it is bittersweet because it is so sweet to see so many Iraqi's show up to vote to move their country forward, but bitter when I think that we are lucky to get a 50% turnout for a presidential election WITHOUT threats of death if we vote in America.
Every beginning has a consequence-every beginning ends something. Paul Valery, 1871-1945

Probably hoping that with a good turn out those damn yankee soldiers will get the hell out of their country.
Very nicely said.
