My nephew the Army Ranger is back in Iraq. He was protecting the vote. He is at Mosul, where they had 10% voter turnout. I was doing a calculation the other day - it looks like Iraqi voter turnout as percentage of voting age population was much lower than we might have heard here. They did not meet the goal of 50%. I guess our so-called liberal media missed that call. When final results are in I suspect we will have helped the Iraqis elect their equivalent of the Taliban. Sioldiers die to do whatever the politicians want, we should have better men as politicians. At least as good as our soldiers. - Gary Denton Easter Lemming Liberal News Digest - I think Brin was on to something in 'Earth' in suggesting the right to vote be dependent upon subscribing to some opposing viewpoint media. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
