#1 Yes, we will ultimately emerge victorious, despite having delayed the victory for two years by boycotting elections. Forest? Trees?

#2 "Compared to women in Britain I felt Iraqi women live with such honour and dignity."

The honor of chattel, and the dignity of ignorance.

#3 " Despite threatening to block previous votes, this time the Jordanian militant, believed to be responsible for most of the suicide bombings in Iraq, has been silent. "He's changed his strategy because he has discovered how confident and determined we are to vote," "

That, or he is dead. One or the other...

#4 *snicker* Al Guardian is reduced to acknowledging the Iraqi's have embraced democracy - even the Sunnis. Sure they did their best to pepper the article with sour grapes But look how pathetic their attempts are becoming:

Here the poor disheartened Guardian is forced put unrelated sentences together to make it look appear they are singing to rid the country of the evil American Occupation:

Even as it confronts Zarqawi, the Islamic party is a firm opponent of the American occupation. "We will liberate our country from the enemy no matter how many troops he brings," a group of three men sang from the stage. "The whole world will witness that." Women clapped in time to the music. Many held up pictures of the murdered candidate. "Rise up, Baghdad. Rebel, Baghdad. You will not be shaken by the forces of the enemy," another song went.

haha!

#5 This story makes you have to almost pity the poor Sunnis. This tiny minority ruled Iraq and they grew to believe that they did so because they were superior, entitled, and destined to do so.

Now they wake up to realize, it ain't so moe. You got nothing, no oil, no numbers and your only thuggish friends aren't helping you, but are using you to achieve their own goals unrelated to your own.

But I've got to give the average Sunni credit for one thing - they are smart enough to realize what their situation in and make the best move possible - attempt to get involved in the democratic process and move forward. Good for them.

#6 "More on Iraqi Sunnis planning to vote"

Howard Dean: "That's not good enough. It has to be 100% or else we're not winning."
