Iraqi elections an enormous success:

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Undeterred by scattered violence, Iraqis voted in overwhelming numbers in an election on Thursday, with minority Sunni Arabs who boycotted the last poll determined not to miss out on power again.

Turnout in 10 hours of voting was at least 10 million, or 67 percent, Election Commission chief Hussein Hendawi told Reuters, much higher than the 58 percent who voted in the previous election on January 30.

Barking Moonbat has scenes from a new democracy. I love the photo on bottom left. Maybe one day we'll be free enough to carry handguns to our polling stations.

Russ Roberts explains why voting is the right thing to do.

If Democrats had enough guts to actually vote their conscience, they'd pull the plug on all this progress tomorrow.

Michelle Malkin reminds us to thank the guys who've primarily helped to make this possible. I'll second that.
