| Eyewitness report to the Iraqi elections |
This is a snippet from an email I received early this morning from Baghdad:
Robert observed polling with other election officials today at one election station mid-morning in downtown Baghdad (he's back safe now) and there was a line of approximately 150 voters. Women in black were walking in to cast their vote. People were standing in line for 20-30 minutes, he estimated. Thank you for your prayers for the Iraqis' protection and wisdom.
Best to you all -
Alison

I listened to BBc Radio 4's coverage on Sunday morning - it was immensely moving and made me thoroughly ashamed that my chosen method of venting my disapproval of Blair in the last General Election was by not voting. I mean , really, how dare I not vote?

Yeah - you can show your dissaproval a lot of other ways, but not voting isn't one of them. If you REALLY want a good cry, go to:
