The Color Purple
Thanks to the dedication, skill and sacrifice of the American military, Iraqis had the opportunity yesterday to freely choose their own government. Despite a few Islamist kamikaze attacks, Iraqi voters remained at the polls and, in some cases, stepped over kamikaze remains to get in line.
Voter turn-out is estimated to be more than most American elections -- around 60%. So kudos to the
purple-fingered Iraqis for having the courage to defy terrorist death threats.
And a big, posthumous "Attaboy!" to the Islamist kamikazes for killing themselves and saving our military the trouble. Keep up the good work!
