Whatever your feelings about the invasion of Iraq, people are dying every day in that country. Why? One of the stated reasons is that the U.S. has to free the Iraqi people and create a democracy. Democracy includes elections. If democracy and elections are worth killing and dying, they are worth standing in line and making your mark.
If you don’t vote today I don’t want to hear your complaints when the government you get isn’t the one you wanted. (If you do vote, critique all you want — I do!)
And saying “they’re all corrupt” is a cop-out.

I believed in this war when I was in the Army and still do now that I’m out. I wanted to stay in but medical reasons forced me out. I’m not a war lover but something about it seems necessary and my instinct hasn’t failed me yet.
