The Ends does NOT JUSTIFY the MEANS>>>> This so called elections
in Iraq is a good thing. Wonderful. 10 percent registered to vote...7.2 percent brave souls showed up. Hence: 72% of registered voters came forward....But with better times, more will follow in subsequent elections

The price? Only 2.6 $$Trillion Dollars and thousands of lives, many fatalities and more wounded.

Worth it?? Many will say "You Bet"

Others will say: "At this time when America is under heavy Debt and with an increasing defecit...this is insane".... even more so was the UNILATERAL approach used by the BushCo."

The Elections by themselves are a wonderful thing.... but when it is USED by the Bush guys to distract/hide/distort/ their ulterior motives..... it stinks.

Come, we need a shower.

1. I hope the Iraqi people will get their country back and their security.
However, Bush has utterly screwed up everything about Iraq. He has never cared about the Iraqi or American people - just his favorate corporate agendas. He has never succesfully carried out anything to do with Iraq.

Today is a day for the Iraqi people. If anything good happens it is because of their courage and hopefully their ability to cross their barriers and work together. If anything good happens it will be despite Bush's performance.
