Reelect Bush, Faults And All (washingtonpost.com)

Reelect Bush, Faults And All (washingtonpost.com): "Zalmay Khalilzad, U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan, said those women were warned that Taliban remnants would attack polling places during the Oct. 9 elections. So the women performed the ritual bathing and said the prayers of those facing death. Then, rising at 3 a.m., they trekked an hour to wait in line for the polls to open at 7 a.m. In the province of Kunar an explosion 100 meters from a long line of waiting voters did not cause anyone to leave the line. "
CB found this emotional, because there is almost nothing I can think of that I would knowingly risk my life for, voting included. We can be relatively safe in assuming that those brave women support Bush, because he gave them a freedom they never would have had without him.
