In the midst of the War on Terror, Iraq recently held an election for Iraqi office, with American troops aiding in the peacekeeping. Irsurgents fired rockets, killing nigh to 50 people, but according to the census, 2 of every 3 elgible voters cast their ballot.
The results to the election are due shortly, after officials have worked around the clock counting the votes. I for one, am genuinely eager to see what the longterm outcome will be. I fear that with the lack of a native military, insurgency wars will crack the country as soon as the U.S. pulls out. However, on the other hand, it might be a milestone on the road to democracy. If it is, it would certainly bring good out of the 7 year struggle.
