Peaceful, orderly and free. Doesn't even count as news. That's great.

President Obama hailed the poll as an "important step forward" for Iraqi self-determination. "I congratulate the people of Iraq on holding significant provincial elections today," he said in a statement.

What do you mean it doesn't even count as news? We were talking about this on another board for hours, only because we heard about it on the news. Where did you hear about it?
