Last i heard the estimate was that 60% of Iraqis voted, as an American i am have a strong urge to go cry in a corner when i hear that they had a higher turnout rate than we did

Haha, and you eat it up - try looking into the issue, as was posted elsewhere, the fine print says OF REGISTERED VOTERS. Silver pointed out in 2002 US had 69%...

New kind of awe in the Mideast

In one fell swoop, this upset has brought to a halt years of despots' arrogant posturing toward Iraqis or hiding of domestic shortcomings behind missteps of the Americans and Israelis in Iraq and Palestine. Iraqis today stand like a phoenix amid the rubble of mediocre governance and corrupt autocracies.

As for the ruled, what can be gleaned from a quick harvest of views are early signs of separating profound dislikes of President Bush and his Middle East policies from the man's ability to deliver to their Iraqi Arab brethren a home run on human rights.

It's like damn G.W. Bush, but, with a wink, also long live G.W. Bush.
