I just noticed a comment I made in this year-old post (a good read for those new to this site who enjoyed my other WW II reportage satires):

I should add that things are going to get worse in Iraq before they get better. The enemy is going to do everything he can to prevent the elections from occurring. I have confidence that he will fail, and that the Iraqi people, like the brave Afghans, will go to the polls in the face of the totalitarian monsters who wish to thwart their freedom.

Looks like it's holding up pretty well so far.
