no kidding...at the rate the elections seem to be going, it would be highly ironic if the overseas votes overpowered the native vote...
If i lived in iraq, i would be slightly/highly upset that my country's government would be elected mostly by people who haven't lived here in years.
i *can* understand why people who hold iraqi citizenships should be allowed to vote, but basically, if they aren't going to live there, they really shouldn't have considerable influence over the gov't...
i think that it is probably a good idea for these elections to allow a broad definition of citizenship, but i can see it sparking some controversy, especially if the out of country vote is highly prominent..
