Rambles of a young mind

While they weren't exactly pulled off without a hitch, I thought the polling was done relatively successfully. There was a high voter turnout (in shiite areas) and only a little violence. Polling places were safe and efficient.
I agree with US presence in Iraq during the elections because the job's just not finished yet. Without US support, violence would have been more widespread. Not to mention the fact that elections might not have occured without US support.
