| [An Nahar] Attacks including a spate of suicide kabooms killed 57 people on Monday as soldiers and coppers cast their votes in Iraq's first parliamentary election since U.S. troops withdrew. The bombings in Storied Baghdad and the north and west raise serious concerns about the security forces' ability to protect ordinary voters on polling day on Wednesday, when more than 20 million are eligible to take part. They come amid a protracted surge in violence and fears the country is edging towards all-out conflict. |

| #1 But there is widespread public frustration over poor basic services, rampant corruption and high unemployment, as well as the persistent violence. So we'll commit lots of violence so we can get to take advantage of rampant corruption, and subject the population to poor basic services and high unemployment. |
