Oooohhh! Now I heard the Iraqi voters weren't just brave--now that the polling is over, they were DEFIANT! So take that Bin Laden!

And turnout was "better than expected" (surprise, surprise) despite the bombings! Now there's something you always want to be able to say about your elections, ain't it? That turn out was "better than expected despite the bombings of the polling places"?

Yup. That is the mark of a mighty fine, mighty successful election, right there. Dang--elections don't get any better than this now do they?
