And The Winner Is ... Not The Terrorists

At least the election is over - although I understand that Ted Kennedy called for a recount out of habit. While some polls in Sunni areas wern't used, other Sunni areas needed extra booths brought in to handle the numbers. The Sunni's didn't boycott, they were supressed.

I understand that John Kerry (or was that Barbara Boxer?) claimed the election was a sham because Tariq Azziz, Baghdad Bob and Saddam didn't vote!



The next 3 - 4 days may be crucial for this, since just holding up your hand can get you a very early grave. The people knew that and voted anyway!

Think about that - would you vote if you knew there was a likelihood it would mean your death? Those who are discounting this election should think about that for a bit before heaping scorn on the process.

One last note on this, tho - I really think the Iraqian Bandstand version of the "Happy Dance" needs a little work, but that could just be a cultural thing.
