A Great Day for Freedom
When even the New York Times has to concede:
If the insurgents wanted to stop people from voting, they failed. If they wanted to cause chaos, they failed. The voters were completely defiant, and although there was never the sense that the insurgency was over, there was a feeling that the people of Baghdad, showing a new, positive attitude, had turned a corner.
Just Fantastic. And CNN is reporting 72% (!!!!!) voter turnout.
The only gray lining to this silver cloud is that it is a bit depressing that Iraqis will face down guns, thugs, and bombs to participate in democracy in greater proportion than my own countrymen.
