  Thanks, CG. You know, with as horribly as women have been treated in this country, this picture does say a lot.

  I heard on the radio, but could not find any information online, that the percentage of women in the new Iraqi government is going to be as high as 25%. Do you know if this is true?

  Well, Smurfet is very tiney (only three apples tall). That would mean that she has a tight little....

  Hopefully, this voting system works for the Iraqi people.

  Doesn't matter if the % of those voting is high or low, there will be those on both sides complaining. I would love to hear a high turnout all considering, both for the Iraqi people, and to hear how the media spins it.

  Interesting side point though: I live in a military city, San Diego. I run into many, many American soldiers, who have come back from Iraq. Each one of them I ask how it really is. 95% of them says the media is not accurate. Yes, any American soldier who dies, sucks, but they are saying that the good far outweighs the bad there.

  Makes one think. They are there, they see it first hand. We are not. No doubt we are not hearing the complete story from the media.

  Do they give examples of the types of successes they are having there that are not being reported in the mainstream media?

  I have to find the news link again, jeannie, but yes, 25% of the seats in the assembly will go to women. I'll keep searching, found the information this morning and didn't bookmark it..aargh
