"We are coming to vote"
Advertisements [?]
"We are coming to vote because Sistani told us to."
"We are coming to vote because we couldn't before."
"We are coming to vote because we want the US to leave."

On democracy now, the reasons Robert Fisk is hearing from the Shiites.

Iraqi's are risking thier lives to vote because they believe this vote is going to get rid of the US and they are trusting thier leaders.

If the US doesnt leave, and they find that thier leaders cant get the US to leave, what happens then? Where will this great motivation that drove them to the polls drive them to do next?

In Bush's triumph we see the force of Iraqi will, not Iraqi democracy, an Iraqi will that wants us out.
