I was amused by a quote from this article on strong Sunni turnout in the Iraqi elections:
"We came to vote for the alliance, obeying our clerics' demand," said Ali Hussein, a 45-year-old taxi driver in Najaf.
What an odd blend of democracy and not. :)

Actually, the insurgents did not target polling places this time, and in fact they provided security at some polling places.
