All over the country front pages are showing Iraqis lined up to vote, but our own election had few pictures of city folk lined up for hours to vote. I guess our lines were also a sign of people who just couldn't wait to exercise their rights at the polls. Or were they? horray for democracy.

1. There shouldn't be lines to vote. When you see them in America there

is a problem. When you see them in America it means that they aren't using enough election booths. It's voter suppression.

Anyway, they didn't even vote on a President or a government. They only voted on the folks who would supposedly be deciding how to write their constitution.
