I'm not sure why, but each time I see photos of the Iraqi people voting, I get chills or teary-eyed. It's amazing to me to think that despite all the danger surrounding the vote this weekend, people STILL showed up to make their voices heard. It's especially neat to see the Iraqi women at the polls. Wow... I mean, Wow...
It sure puts to shame Americans who don't vote just because they are apathetic or too busy or don't have time to get educated, don't you think?
Those feelings, as well as prayers breathed over and over for the safety of all those involved kept popping up for me all weekend. I'm not sure what the political spinsters are saying about it all, but I think what happened today was nothing short of incredible.
