The usual questions ... Should we be there? Can we leave now? Are the elections fair? Are the elections fixed? Are we setting up a puppet regime? blah, blah, blah ... how these nagging doubts fall silent in the face of the bravery of those Iraqis who voted today. Such defiant courage! God bless them.IP: Logged |

BBC is the ONLY New Publication to negatively cover the Iraq Vote and it's ASTOUNDING SUCCESS!EVEN Bush's biggest press enemy, the New York Times, reportedly it positively. The FACT that you, Proxieme, chose this publication to represent to Vote proves that you are unfortunately, like Bill O'Reilly would say, utterly blinded by your idealogical biased. It's truly sad when you have to try to tear down something as historic as this event. I hope one day, you mature and your hatred turns to love. Good day to you. IP: Logged |

 Actually, both of the links that I put up showed both positive and negative sides...and the Iraqi views that I mentioned being "especially interesting" were overwhelmingly positive and proud of their election. I pray that someday you, Lost Leo, actually click on the links that are put up.  IP: Logged |

*** Yeah, proxieme, it was nice to see the Iraqi people speak about this election candidly. Whether their comments were positive or negative isn't the point to me. I appreciate being able to hear the people most affected by this speak their own opinions freely. It can't be helped that some people will have hope for something better and that others believe things will never change. They're human. Their feelings are a reflection of the lives they've lived. How can you judge them negatively on it, or judge someone else negatively for sharing it? /boggle ------------------

I think all iraqis love bush after all he did send soldiers there not only to remove saddam the murderer but to run over there children with tanks and kill innocent by standers. Yes I am sure they love him.------------------

PRO-U.S. MAYOR HAS TARGET ON HIS BACK
By JOSH WILLIAMS
January 30, 2005 -- BAGHDAD
The man replacing the mayor of Baghdad — who was assassinated for his pro-American loyalties — says he is not worried about his ties to Washington. In fact, he'd like to erect a monument to honor President Bush in the middle of the city. "We will build a statue for Bush," said Ali Fadel, the former provincial council chairman. "He is the symbol of freedom."
