The enemies of democracy in Iraq produce the predictable headlines as polls open:
Deadly Attacks Mar First Day of Voting in Iraqi Elections
Suicide bomber kills 3 soldiers outside Baghdad polling center
20 die as Iraq election begins
Iraq polling stations hit by string of bomb attacks
Attacks Kill 14 as Iraqis Vote in General Elections
Suicide bombers kill 30 in Iraq
Suicide attacks kill at least 32 in Baquba
Suicide bombs before Iraq election shows Al Qaeda still active
Iraq suicide bombers target city of Baquba
Iraq hit by triple suicide bomb ahead of election
Triple bombing kill 32 ahead of Iraqi vote
Though some, I’m sure are encouraged by these signs that the glorious resistance fights on and continues to write its name into the corpses of its victims… but also the stars if it has any bullets left.
