Iraqi elections

This goes through my head every time I read a headline about the eight million Iraqis who just voted, or the thousands in this country who cast a proxy vote.

58% turnout - well it's higher than the US, even last time, but compared to South Africa in 1994 (87%) it's telling. I hope it has some effect, and the main effect I hope it has is to encourage the US to get the hell out...

*sigh*

Yeah, I do wish for the same thing every Christmas.

I like that. If only the coalition forces were concerned about giving some stability to the Iraqi people instead of protecting their beloved oil-fields instead. *sigh*.
