Vote and Die

"http://www.cbc.ca/crossroads-afghanistan/story/2009/08/16/afghan-security.html"

"If you show up to vote on election day, you risk being hurt by an attack."


Wow. I can't even imagine what must be going through the minds of Afghanis right now. I hope everyone is very careful about this, but I also hope that the public doesn't let the Taliban or Al-Qaeda push them around. This kind of message is exactly why they need to vote, to A) bring positive change to the country, and B) prove through elections and other civic action that the Afghani people are better than that kind of bullying.
