I hope for the best for the Iraqi people - this is a pivotal historic moment for them.

Well said ART...In fact, you really should consider running in an election here in the USA. You are usually extremely right on - IMHO. However, sadly, all elections are rigged one way or the other. Look at Ohio in 2004 and Florida...well, never mind. Hindsight IS 20/20. But it's still all media hype. The fact that so many Iraqis voted is pretty astounding and to see women there voting, well, can that be real or just a staged TV moment for BushCo and buddies (ie The Carlyle Group). At any rate it's hopeful (if in fact it really did happen in a free and just manner ---but doesn't it feel like a long time gone and far away?)
Please illuminate us if you can. I would like to feel that it is still the Democratic way, but c'mon, this place is still 90% nomadic tribes...
