Think that stopped those brave people from standing in line for 6 hours to cast their DEMOCRATIC vote?? Oops.....guess not...the sky is ALWAYS falling for you poor chicken littles isn't it. Do I really need to post more purple finger pics for ya gyps? Deep down it must kill you to see Iraq coming along so nicely...which is odd cause I thought you so-called "progrssives" loved people exercising their freedoms? Yea right. Open minded huh......as long as everyones opinons match yours I suppose. If the world depended on people like this we would all be in alot of trouble. imp:

It really is an amazing thing to see, isn't it. They are voting now, in spite of all the violence. People here in US don't even vote just because they might miss american idol or something. It is humbling but at the same time inspiring. :twocents:

I'll let others decide if was worth the cost or not. I want to think even that crazy Texan really did believe that we would be greeted in Bahgdad with flowers and that the insurgents would not have been so successful there but its all whisky under the bridge now, I guess. Good luck Iraq and god bless all the troops who went over there and fought.

Frankly, I'd prefer to count the votes on legalization in three western US states. Finally start doing what the federal government won't do. As for Iraqi democracy, if you want to call it that, I don't give a rat's ass. Wasn't worth the cost in lives or treasure, regardless of how you want to dress the pig. imp:

I'm tired of being discriminated against, denied inalienable rights, robbed on a daily basis by the corrupt robber barons and military/industrial complex of today. That ain't democracy and its right here at home. :wtf:

... Wasn't worth the cost in lives ...

I agree with that.

off topic but ... are there three states that might legalize this year??? What are the other two? Washington and Oregon or Nevada? just guessing.

California. And back on topic, people who believe democracy is going to be a major movement in Iraq, don't understand tribal cultures. And Iraq is a tribal culture with two religious sects. Sunni and Shia. Tribal and religious loyalty is greater then national loyalty. :thumbsup:
