What a Beautiful Thing

The voting in Iraq appears to be going smoothly, only with scattered violence reported. The terrorists can't stop this. That's got to be sinking in about now.

I have often expressed a lot of cynicism about democracy. It's hard to maintain that cynicism in the face of seeing an entire country becoming empowered to choose its own destiny. God bless them.

Because, of course, stopping the elections is the sine qua non of the terrorists, who will shrivel up and die if people vote.
