Iraqi Election Links
Iraqis voting in Manchester England drove off around 200 non-Iraqis protesting the Iraq election. David Kahrmann (who is from the Iraq Election Team in Manchester) asked "Why are these people who are not even from Iraq protesting against these elections?" Normblog hopes "this could prefigure something wider."
Jeff Jarvis, a very reasonable liberal, has a description of "The Eeyore Analysis of Iraq". Jarvis voted for Kerry, but does not hate Bush. He wants Iraq to succeed far more than he wants Bush to fail and probably does not really want Bush to fail at all. He just wants the war on terror won and Iraq to be free. He says "Democracy isn't a right-or-left thing, folks. It's a right-and-left thing, remember?"
Scrappleface sums up the feelings of many in the media with this headline: Iraqi Voting Disrupts News Reports of Bombings.
