If anyone questions the resolve of Iraqi voters to be heard, check out this graph of U.S. elections voter turnout (data from George Mason University - Dr. Michael McDonald).
If the initially estimated 72% of Iraqi voters who showed up were only as high as the highest U.S. percentage (around 60%), the election would have been labeled a failure by U.S. media. And no one threatens U.S. citizens who want to vote.
Well, I'm sure our local newspapers will find the grain of sand on the watermelon.
