Since you have revealed the fact that you haven't a clue what that purple finger represents, let me give you clue. She voted.
Wait for the shock of that revelation to wear off before you respond. Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.
You think? I know exactly what it means just as the 'solidarity' show by political hacks in our own nation holding up their purple fingers in front of any camera that would bother taking a picture of them. My point is it doesn't matter. None of it does. The democracy in Iraq will fail. It may take a generation, but I doubt it. They will eventually vote in a theocracy and the situation will be worse than it was to begin with. But as long as you feel warm and fuzzy about a damn purple finger being held up by someone that votes based on emotion rather than fact, hey go for it. And no I'm not talking about the Iraqi people
