Iraqis go to the polls

Millions of Iraqis flocked to vote in a historic election on Sunday, defying insurgents who killed 35 people in a bloody assault on the poll.

Voters, some ululating with joy, others hiding their faces in fear, cast ballots in higher-than-expected numbers in Iraq's first multi-party election in half a century

Good for them. I still don't think it justifies invading their country and killing civilians and soldiers. And I have deep reservations about imposing Western style democracy on another country. But I hope, for everyone's sake, that things in Iraq get better.

UPDATE: That damn ghost of Vietnam...
