Absolutely beautiful pictures. There's news of Iraqi expatriates driving 8 hours to get to polling places, Iraqis dancing in line while they wait to vote, Iraqis talking about how they were so excited about voting they couldn't sleep last night, civilians in Iraq guarding their own polling places. Thankfully they don't shoot guns up in the air stateside, or I'm sure they'd be doing that too. What a wonderful day for the free world. Let freedom ring!

I am blaming the blurry screen syndrome on the extremely hot salsa I am injoying in celebration of this historic and earth shaking day.

There were Americans who had to walk or drive a few blocks and stand in line and complained about it. Could GW be right? Could the power of freedom be so great? I tend to think so.
