Is it just me or do the Iraqi elections seem destined for failure.

Disrupting them is staggeringly easy.

First you get a few suicide bombers to register and then get in line to 'vote'. Bomb goes off while they were in line, taking out, oh, dozens, maybe 100+ people, maybe even destroying the voting station.

Result: No one will approach a single voting station. Election cancelled (or at least totally worthless).

Any other comments about the upcoming Iraqi election and whether or not it will succeed?

At least it's going to be attempted

I think it'll be hilarious if Saddam is voted in

I have a suspicion that there will be extra votes in certain areas.
;)

Did it study?

:confused:

I think colin powell will win.

What does it matter? Even if the elections go perfectly the new government will be too weak to do anything. American troops will have to babysit the Iraqis for years to come.

it will be interesting to watch the us deal with a government controlled by(moderate) shiite islamists.

I still don't see what investment return americans are getting from democratic elections in Iraq.

You just wait. I guarantee that Florida will find some way to screw it up.
