there were some violent attacks, but around 40 casualties for the entire country qualifies as low violence to me... especially considering the turnought was reportedly very high in some places.
i'm an optimist, generally, and this seems to have gone much better than i expected. under the circumstances, i don't think anyone could've thought it would go much better than it did.
it gives me a warm-fuzzy feeling inside.
QUESTION: does anyone know how this played on Al-Jazeera or Al-Arabiya over there?
