You might want to back up your flippant statement.
It
is happening.
Its in the news. You can read about in the finest newspapers, like the New York Times. You can read about it on well respected foreign web sites like the BBC's.
Best of all, you can read about on Al Jazeera's web site, and the presence of such stories says more than the articles do.
What really surprised me is a poll on Al Jazeera's web site. These polls, while unscientific, usually reflect an outlook that is completely opposed to that of the Bush Administration's. This one asks, "
Do you trust the outcome of Iraq’s elections, being held amidst the ongoing violence?" 62% have responded, "yes."
Here are some articles from today's Al Jazeera:
Iraqis await elections results in anticipation
What do the Iraqi elections hold for Syria?
Mubarak hints at 5th term, rejects calls for open vote
Arabs
are watching and reading. They will soon start demanding democracy through out the Middle East. Yesterday's Iraqi elections will be to the Middle East what the Fall of the Berlin Wall was to Eastern Europe.
