Just Like Our Founding Fathers!

Voters said to hunt for polling sites in west Iraq
Hours before a crucial referendum on a new constitution, voters in western Iraq, where many are expected to say "No," were asking themselves a troubling question: where are the polling stations?

"There are no voting centers in cities like Haditha, Hit, Rawa, Qaim, Ana, Baghdadi and the villages around them," Mahmoud Salman al-Ani, a human rights activist in Ramadi, said on Friday, listing locations across western Anbar province.

"There aren't actually any voting centers or even voting sheets in these cities ... Nobody knows how and where to vote if they decide to," he said of the predominantly Sunni Arab region.
So let the people decide... but which people. >sigh< Don't these people get it? You treat the Sunnis like this and you are just inviting Civil War (if they don't already have a low-grade one going on right now as many suggest). but Bush Co. has to stage everything and they really need a winner right now so nothing can be left to chance, especially not a little thing like 'voting'... damn the consequences.
