Just saw on the crawl at Fox that the terrorists used a handicapped child for one of the suicide attacks... |

During the 2004 Presidential elections in the Philippines over 100 people died.
The 2004 Presidential election in Indonesia saw over 200 deaths related to election violence.
The total of Iraqi deaths was outpaced by deaths in democratic elections around the world. I would say that more than 36 American people died in traffic accidents trying to get to the polls or from heart attacks when they heard the results last November 2nd.
Eight million voted and thirty six died, I like them odds.
A big Air Force salute goes out to the Army and Marines.
