While there are hundreds of checkpoints throughout Baghdad, Tuesday's large-scale lockdowns and searches of neighborhoods have become rare since the height of the insurgency in 2006 and 2007. The security operation comes as Iraq prepares for nationwide parliamentary elections in March. [link to www.msnbc.msn.com] |

[link to www.msnbc.msn.com] dang, the "free elections" in Afghanistan were hailed as a milestone in the move towards a free & democratic society there... is the Iraqi "ELECTORATE" more educated than the Afghani one??? who would ever have known that only 10% of the Afghan electorate knew how to read & write??? how many of the Iraqi's are literate in 2010??? i would think the number should be kind of low seeing as to how they haven't been at anything but a State of War since 1980!!! |
