...from the polling booths. In the capital, however, there were attacks by gunmen at only four polling stations and a few ineffectual mortars.

It seems only fair to ask where, on the spectrum of barbarism, we would locate the killing of Iraqi civilians, the razing of Fallujah, the depravity at Abu Ghraib prison and the self-righteous obscenity at Guantánamo Bay. And how about the abandonment of the desperate hurricane victims in Louisiana and Mississippi?
