So . . . . you're saying there should be no security at polling stations in Iraq?
Is that what you were saying about security at polling stations in Afghanistan?

Is what I am saying is that an election is practically useless until Iraqi society is tempered enough to make such drastic security unnecessary. An election under the current conditions is only a facade since many people will indeed be deterred by the "security".
Bottom line is that U.S. and/or pro-U.S. Iraqi mercenaries will indeed influence the election whether by accident or on purpose.
