It is now 3 am in Iraq the polls will be opening in the next few hours as the world watches and hold's it breath. Iraq is about to undertake a historic vote.
Lets wish them well....... please post all comments and election photos to this thread.
Kerry by 3......Ha ha ha ha!
Thanks!
:o)
I'm here, Mo1...been reading all the comments.
There was a good post today about the SUnni triangle area...Even SH couldn't control it.It's been a "no-man-land for along time....But it's been shaped-up now by the US military.
I think the reason there will be so many words on this thread, is that there is no way to adequately express what is happening......
(But we can try!)
Very impressive to read about the expats who traveled from NE and TX to Rosemont, IL to vote. Neither one is a small distance particularly all the way from TX.
Nice thread Dog, glad I'm on tonight and in the morning to check it, have no cable or satellite TV tonight, unfortunately.
I've heard Dubya won - again. You?
Will day-to-day life in Iraq improve after the 30 January election?
Yes : 26%
No : 67%
Unsure : 7%
Number of pollers : 22407
Thanks, Doc.
You ... Rock! :)
After one look at these pictures, we should NEVER take our freedom to vote for granted.......

I hope that Americans who have not been voting in the past will see these pictures of the Iraqis' sheer joy at having the opportunity to vote for the first time in their country's history will now vow that they will exercise their own freedom to vote. What an inspiration these people are, for they are literally risking their lives to vote.
