US forces its "democracy" on other cultures...

Iraqis are bewildered as their ancient ways are trampled by the alien culture of the imperialist American hegemony...

Iraqi Voters show inked fingers

Charlene asks "Where are the women? (In these pictures we are seeing.) I'm guessing Iraq is still like things were when I was in grade school. When the boys start showing off and cutting capers the girls move to the sidelines...

Well, she found this one at FoxNews. Charlene thinks she looks smug enough to be worth a thousand words...

I saw plenty of women voting, but as I noted on my blog, I ferried our security guards to the polling station. I haven't seen too many female private Iraqi security guards.

Keep up the good work (security, and more important, blogging
