Small story to emphasize how lightly everyone takes our ability to vote in the USA. People give their lives for what we abuse here.

Excerpt:
Duncan Hunter: Hey thanks Mike. First with the respect to imposing democracy from the barrel of a gun, the only guns we held on the days when they had Free Election in Iraq was the Americans along with the Iraqi Police who were protecting the voting places and that included the suicide bomber that rushed in to try to blow up a bunch of voters and one of the Iraqi Policeman bear hugged him and pulled him out of the voting area and was killed with him when that guy tried to kill voters. So those people that voted in the Iraqi Elections voted in a Free and Fair Election. All the international observers agree with that.

point, great one at that
Not such a small story at all...simply treated as such.
It is amazing what is treated as a big story these days. What a joke it has all become.
