Oh, What A Beautiful Morning
From CNN:
"Further north in the Kurdistan town of Salamanca, CNN's Nic Robertson reported seeing a 90-year-old woman being taken to a booth in a wheelbarrow. Others came on crutches to cast their ballot.
In the southern city of Basra, ITN's Juliet Bremner reported that turnout was almost 90 percent. She said voting was peaceful and orderly with elated Shias -- oppressed for decades under Saddam -- "determined to cast their votes in their desire for freedom, peace and food.""
What a beautiful thing to read on a Sunday. And I am hopeful. 25 dead? Is that all the insurgents could muster? There's no end to the work left to do, but at least we're out of the gate.
