what? you don't think it's a noble cause for people to do what they believe in despite the overcomming threat of violence and without the need to resort to violent acts? i think what these people did is admirable... lord knows i wouldn't have voted for bush if people were saying they were going to bomb the shit out of my local firehall

no one is suggesting what the Iraqis did wasn't admirable. But still there were a number of ignored problems with this election. I'm not going to restate myself, so go back and re-read my post. As far as your metric, people showing up just isn't enough. Of course some people were going to show up and vote. If thats the highest you set the bar for achievement no wonder Republicans still support Bush.
