We take voting for granted in America, but in Iraq the concept is not only new, but is literally dangerous, something of which Americans have NO conception.
December 15, the Iraqis get to vote for a third time. Every Iraqi who votes stands a very real risk of being turned into a chum slick when they go to vote.
Americans don’t vote if it rains or snows, never mind if someone shoots at them.
Bottom line: With all the hoo-hah coming from both sides pro or anti Iraq policy, the successful completion of installing a semblance of a democratic government is the quickest way to get our people home.
Anyone arguing that point is at best dishonest at worst murderous.
December 15 … mark it down. You don’t have to dye your thumb purple in solidarity, but a purple ribbon won’t hurt.
Now we’ll see who “supports the troops.”
