A Brief note on Iraqi elections

President Bush is entirely right to stick to his guns when it comes to the January 30th date for Iraqi elections. The show must go on; we must do what we said we were going to do, when we said we were going to do it. When are people goign to learn that this President is a man who does what he says he is going to do?

History has shown us repeatedly that you hold elections anyway, even when a situation is not ideal. Were elections during the U.S. Civil War illegitimate because not everyone participated in them? Of course not.

Have the vote, claim a victory, and work out the remaining kinks afterward.
