elections in iraq

As you all might know, the elections are 31 JAN 09 (tomorrow). Well either way its good to get it all over with, then on to the next big mission. but just so all of you know, regardless of who gets elected, Sunni, Shea, Kurd, or mix of them all, if all parties vote, we will have done our job. Allowing the people to even have the right to vote is a mission complete. Last elections many parties, namely Sunni, boycotted and many others were threatened not to support the elections by voting. If the people are able to contribute to the establishment of the government, regardless of creed, religion, or status, the elections have been a success.

In the south Nineveh area there are several security issues and some believe it is the last hold of terrorism in the country. pray for those in command to make the right decisions. to make choices that are best for the nation and not for self greed and hate. This is my prayer and what i work for while serving in Iraq. to do my best to make bad men good and good men better.

clint -- are you running for office? You have our vote, and we have the 'purple finger' to prove it.
on the news, it showed TONS of candidates running for office in Iraq, costing $55 million to run the election.
hope they're better @ selecting their president than we were.... love, dad
