"It wasn't all that long ago that a lot of people said Iraqi people will never vote at all. I think it's constructive now we're beginning to worry about the size of the turnout," he said.
Now that is putting a positive face on bloodshed and chaos.
The election process is in turmoil. By some accounts ½ the population is in areas that are unsafe for voting teams to set up. The Sunni participation is in doubt because of lack of security and voice. Sunni leaders are calling for a delay in voting. Voting places in “secure” areas are being blown up on a regular basis. Three senior Iraqi officials were abducted. US strikes 'wrong' Iraqi target and kills 14 innocent people. A bunch of story's surface about a US soldier that forces two Iraqi men into a river for no real reason other than curfew violation. . .
What will this election bring? Legitimacy? Instant Peace? Why the rush?
