Iraqi voting has started

I watched the news for the first time in close to two years tonight.

Watching this, and the turn out gives me a sense of hope. There were minimal attacks. It gives me a hope that Iraqi citizens will defy the insurgents and their threats. And that maybe one day Iraq can be a functioning country [again].

Don't read this as I changed my mind on the war, or that I believe the turn out was high, or that the election will be the end of the insurgency. I know for a fact that there was zero turn out in at least one area. I still think we handled this the wrong way and that this was Jr. finishing what daddy started. That doesn't mean I can't have a sense of hope.
