A lot of good photojournalism on display there.

Could you tell us how this collection came about?

"insurgent"

What's an insurgent? Do you mean a 7th century throat-cutting assassin?

I thought the elections were about homeland security for America. Therefore, shouldn't the title be "Huge win for American Homeland Security" ??

And since when is democracy a good thing? Our founding fathers sure didn't think much of it...

That said, may God bless the Iraqi people in their quest for freedom and a legitimately elected, representative government.

"Why don't we get to vote in elections that mean something?"

Thoughts all over the Middle East today.

Iraqi residents of Najaf distribute candies and drinks to passers by as a part of celebrations following yesterday's landmark elections. As President George W. Bush unveils his domestic and foreign agenda in his State of the Union speech later this week, the annual address also looks likely to give him a chance to take a bow after Sunday's elections in Iraq.(AFP)

The picture of the newborn made me cry. He will brag about his birthday in years to come, but then, his parents are probably already bragging.
