THE MOST IMPORTANT 24 HOURS IN IRAQ'S HISTORY: A tremendous sign, braving the possibility of terror attacks, millions go to the polls...Long lines make them likely targets - yet they go, they wait, 27 have died but millions are speaking out...here's the proof:

As Iraqi's continue to turnout, wait in long, long, lines, and cast their FREE votes...you are witnessing the gift that too many in America have long forgotten.

By the way an important realization here. Don't be fooled by the terms you are hearing on television today. The "turnout" percentage that is constantly being discussed in Iraq refers to the percentage of the population of eligible voters (total adult population)...

In America we only track "turnout" of registered voters. (Of which consist of roughly one third of eligible adults).

What does it mean? In America roughly 20% or less of the actual adult population  actually determine the presidential winner. In Iraq it will actually be somewhere between 60-70% of the actual adult population that will determine it. On this point the Iraqis are teaching us a boatload of lessons...
