The Iraq elections
Thanks, President Bush and all the brave military personnel who sacrificed for this. Obama’s mid-east options are greatly expanded due to Bush’s action, though he’ll never admit it. And the seed planted in Iraq may flower incredibly over the next decades.
Fifteen million Iraqis are voting today. Because of the strong turnout, the voting time was extended. And I saw a stat on one of the cable channels that there are over 400 women running for office in this election.
