Iraqi Disenfranchisement
Did you see the long lines of Iraqis at the polls? Some people had to wait for over an hour … just to vote!
They suffered the indignity of being searched, not once but twice!
They had to present identification papers to prove that they were eligible to vote!
Can you imagine the howls that would happen if that happened in America?
How did Iraqis react?
From Democracy in Iraq (is Here!):
Let me end today’s posts with a picture I found of a woman who was so overcome with emotion at voting that she cried. I believe this picture symbolizes every Iraqi’s feelings today.
