Dang it I just checked the Islamic calendar.
The election is right smack in the middle of Ramadan.
Ramadan begins Oct. 6, 2004 and ends Nov. 14, 2004.
The Laylat al Qadr, or "Night of Destiny" which determines the future of the world for the coming year is on November 9, 2004.
Wasn't the attack in London suppose to be the go sign for the one here?
