Iraq's Elections May Determine Future

Dear Readers,

I wanted to give you this piece on 'Iraq's Elections May Indicate Future' by Human Rights Watch. Essentially, "what happens during - and following - Iraq's elections will be a key indicator of whether the country will fall again into violence or move toward political stability and respect for human rights."

On that note, I would like to report that 60% of Iraqis (which equals to about 11.7 million people), vote in the parliamentary elections this weekend despite violent attempts to disrupt the vote. Read more here.

Let's hope for the best!
