32 months after the toppling of Saddam statue, Iraqies will be voting for the THIRD time. This time the election is for the permanent gov't and will have a voter turn out much higher then any of OUR past National elections.

I urge everyone to pick up a copy of 1776 and read it.

:okthumb: We need one of these with a purple thumb!

Oh yeah.... It's Bush's fault!!!

thats great, hows their military. and infrastructure?

because if its not strong enough when we pull out, iran is pulling in.
they can vote and elect all they want, when i see a nation that is democratic and strong enough to survive on its own without american forces, i will be happy.

And 48 months after the WTC fell to the ground we have still not captured / punished the ones that did it.

Aside from an election Iraq also has daily suicide bombings, and a nice Al Queda presense that it did not have before.

I am guessing these is also Bush's fault.

Excellent book. An awesome account of the beginning of the Revolution. I'm hoping for a sequel. ;-)

Looks interesting. I just added it to my list.

Been reading a lot of Greek and Roman History lately. One book on the Persian Empire (a lack of English scholarship on Persia unfortunately). I did squeeze the 1776 book in there. It was awesome.

Always great to read the classics.

I am currently reading "What Went Wrong: The Clash Between Islam and Modernity in the Middle East"

It basicly chronicles how Islam went from being the light of the world ( when Europe was in middle ages), to being surpassed by the barbarians in Europe.

It is a short book, will be finished today.

I want to read that. David McCullough was on The Daily Show not that long ago and I found what he said extremely interesting.

That's a good book. I've read 3 or 4 of Bernard Lewis' books.

Tom Holland's "Rubicon" is an excellent account of the fall of the Republic.

Hildinger's "Swords against the Senate" is about an earlier Roman civil war and the general development of internal political violence in Republican Rome.

"Hannibal Crosses the Alps" is a good book on Hannibal's occupation of Italy.
