Wow! - Give God the praise.
AsiaNews.it is reporting that Iraqi's cast their ballots in large numbers despite the violence and threats of death by evil men.
Threats and violence have not prevented a massive turnout of voters in Iraq's first democratic elections in 40 years. According to unofficial sources in the Iraq's Independent Electoral commission, 72% of voters had cast their ballot by 3 p.m. (local time). The U.N.'s representative to the Electoral Commission of Baghdad, Carlos Valenzuela, stated that voter turnout has "surpassed predictions".
Can you imagine all those purple fingers. Wow. You know that might set a new trend. Instead of those "I Voted" stickers we all get in America we could do like the Iraqi people and dip our fingers in a bowl of ink.
Of course the purple fingers also make it rather easy to identify voters for the insurgents. Which is even more of a testament for the desire of Iraq to embark on the course of democracy.
