History

It's just a little bit more than three days till the Iraq elections.

Odds are, folks will be yelling. A lot. Cries of "Haliburton" and "quagmire" will fill the air.

And that's just CNN. I haven't even started in on Ted Kennedy yet.

In any case, I wish to point you, ladies and gentlemen, to a new weblog: Friends of Democracy.

This blog, written and contributed to by Iraqis, will give you an inside look into that nation as it transits from a dictatorship into a democracy.

Consider it yet another counterpoint to what the news will try and feed you. It's an interesting time: let's hear about from the people who are living it.
