Vigorous Voting Throughout Iraq

News:
Iraqis traveled to polling places throughout the country today to vote. The United States Ambassador, Zalmay Khalilzad said it was like a "big wedding". In Ramadi, a violent Sunni Arab city, thousands of residents streamed to the polls for the first few hours of voting. Before noon, several polling stations reported today that they had nearly exhausted their allotment of ballots. Iraqi electoral officials and American military officers were extremely happy to hear that kind of news. Iraqi officials predicted a 62 percent turnout today.
