Look at the 2 lines of voters in this picture Iraqis wait to enter a polling station in southern city of Basra, Sunday, Jan. 30, 2005. Iraqis turned out to vote Sunday in their country's first free election in a half-century as insurgents made good on threats of violence, launching at least three deadly suicide bombings and heavy mortar strikes at polling stations. Just hours after polls opened, 17 people were killed. (AP Photo/Nabil Aljurani)
17 people killed now. Stinks......but, at least we won't get to 50 probably.

CNN just showed a report showing a packed polling place with people dancing around and rejoicing at having a chance to take back their country. This is so neat.
