4. I was looking at the "past questions of the day"
Every single one is slanted toward making a "Yes" answer sound correct, and all "yes" answers had to do with having faith in Bush or one of Bush's schemes. Hilariously, most were a resounding "No".

AMERICANS don't vote because it gets in the way of their reality shows, and you expect me to believe that they would vote if their life was on the line???

In the USA, my vote and MILLIONS others were NOT even counted. I would not risk my life to vote here in my own country -- not even if I was paid!

6. Not in that election.
It's not a legitimate election being carried out under foreign bayonets. Better to ride out the storm. But I do sympathize with forces that oppose the occupation but are participating in the election. Insurgents should not target voters merely for voting, even more so since there is compulsion to vote.

Who's making the ballot boxes anyway?
