After all car movements were prohibited, thousands of Iraqis make a trip on foot to the town of Al Alamara, Iraq (news - web sites), to place their votes Sunday, Jan. 30 2005. Iraqis turned out to vote Sunday in their country's first free election in a half-century, defying insurgents who launched deadly suicide bombings and mortar strikes at polling stations.

If you try posting any of these photos over there at DU they will ban you from posting.
They are not interested in the truth even when it stares them in the face.
Also - this is the first large scale show that Iraqi police and military can operate successfully. Maybe for the first time in decades Iraqi police helped the people instead of oppressing them.
Photos, PonG
Thanks for posting these; let's spread them everywhere.
Please, please, President Bush use these photos and the hundreds of others out there in a slide show during the State of the Union speech. Let the MSM know you're not taking their spin any longer. The pictures are beautiful and inspiring to all who love freedom.
That is so wonderful. I am so happy for these people tasting freedom for the first time in so long.
thank you George W Bush!
Interesting how democrats can hate democracy so much.
I was wondering what would happen if someone posted them over there...are you sure about that, or just a guess...
I was just thinking about all of the intelligence we could get from finding out the names of the people in Iraq who refused to go out and vote.A good portion of the people boycotting the election have some type of connection with the terrorist.We should be looking at this as soon as possible.
Thank you.

Thank you SO much for the "PonG". ;o)
The photos are absolutely beautiful...
especially the pic above my post.
I watched the election last night, and
could hardly contain myself. Watching it
brought tears to my eyes on more than one
occasion.
It's been an historic day for Iraq, for
the good ole USofA, and for the world.
And, the world was watching.
I hope they take note...
I've been banned from there several times over the years...I don't have any more email addresses to register ;)
Bush is gonna go down in history as the Washington of Iraq when it is all said and done.
Excellent historic pics!! Thanks for the ping.
This Iraqi election and the results should silence all whose argument was “do Iraqi People appreciate all that President bush has said and done?” The leaders of all tyrannies will have their spin but that does not reflect the desire and the right of their people to democracy and freedom. Iran next.
