yup........you can tell these poor people are being tortured by the terrible Bush Admin.........
"All of the pictures are wrong, the MSM says so. They're so sure of it they wrote their "the election is a total failure" stories days ago. We're all doomed!"
I just read an interesting bit of info about the French Revolution. The voter turnout for the Legislative Assembly in 1791 (the first vote to elect members using the newly written Constitution) was 10% of the eligible voters. And yet this is held up as one of the great epochal events of civilization. I have no doubt that the Iraqi people will put the French to shame! They will then join a not-very-exclusive club.
Well, so far we are looking at expatriates without any violence. Let's hope it stays that way inside Iraq.
The BBC and Fat Teddy are miserable, horrified, infuriated.
Well then it must be true.
