Iraq imposes security lockdown ahead of elections - Yahoo! News

Pay attention to this,
With a travel ban it means they are walking to vote in places.Think of this in the US and how many would turn out to vote.

That said ask your god or non god, whoever it is, that the nutcases will learn to get along.........From being there the average man in IRAQ just wants a job to feed his family!!!!!!!

My thoughts are that this thread belongs in the Politics/Religion/War/Government forum and not in here.

I deleted it because I spouted off something before my brain became engaged. It was wrong, inappropriate and therefore deleted by me.

i walk to vote every time but it is literally less than 200 yards, i grew up with my parents and i walking when they voted about a 1/2 mile, due to parking. yes i think in this country voting would go way down if most had to walk 2 miles. in some ways it is sad, but one thing the iraq population has going for it has is this voting thing is new and it makes them feel involved. in this country i think a lot of people feel disconnected, and i think that is one reason why obama did so well, he connected with lots of people.
