This is my kind of fanatic: 'It's one of my wishes to die at the gate of the polling station. I want to be a martyr for the ballot box.' Dixit some Iraqi guy, via Andrew Sullivan.
Unfortunately, since there will be two elections in Iraq this year, I am mighty afraid this bloke might just get what he's wishing for.
(Yes, two. One to choose a government which will write an Iraqi constititution, another one in December to choose another government and parliament to either endorse or reject said constitution. The same way any other civilized democracy, such as the Netherlands or the USA, would do it.)
