Wrong.
See Afghan elections!
In an interview, Afghanistan's ambassador to the United States, Tayeb Said Jawad, said voters were enthusiastic, and not intimidated by the prospect of violence. He noted an incident on election day when a rocket landed near a polling place in Kunar province, where a long line of women waited to cast their ballots.
"Nobody ran away," he said. "Everybody stayed and insisted on casting their vote. And they said, if we run away from one rocket attack today, these rocket attacks will continue forever."
