Iraqi voting has started

I saw Zogby interviewed today and his reports are that Sunni turnout in at 50%. Not too bad.

Regardless, turnout is good. Violence has been present, but fairly minimal. This is far from the debacle it was predicted to be. To the contrary - it has been very successful.

And a predictable pattern - I have seen some leding dems out saying "well, we knew the election itself would be successful - we were never concerned about that - it's the constitution that will cause the divisions." Predictable. First, there was no way that the interim government could take over by July 1. Then, there was no way that there could be an election in late January. now, those things don't matter - hell they were successful - it's the next thing that will be the problem. Always is.
