"But still the Iraqis came out, courageously, to vote. No question: Dancing in the streets sure beats dying in them. Not that many anchors on U.S. TV made that observation during last Sunday's election in Iraq — or since. The turnout was the thing. By the time all the votes are counted — no thanks to all those international monitors, most of whom were outside the country — it could sink well below the much-vaunted 72 per cent that was making Fox News anchors walking Viagra ads on Sunday. It's already dropped to 57 per cent. At that rate, we can expect the final number to slip by on a news crawl just as Michael Jackson beams up to the Mother Ship. The election was the perfect halftime show between Bush's inauguration last month and last night's speech. Liberty is now the message track. Americans are getting shoved aboard the freedom train by the White House slogan department and its megaphones in the media. Fear is like, so 2004." thestar.com
