Hey, Iraq! Welcome to democracy, American-style:
A sandstorm that had closed Baghdad's airport cleared Tuesday, allowing officials to resume flying ballot boxes to the capital Tuesday so "unusually high" vote totals in 12 Shiite and Kurdish provinces can be checked by election officials.
The investigation by Iraq's election commission has raised the possibility that the results of the referendum could be called into question. As many as 99 percent of the voters reportedly approved Iraq's draft constitution in some of the provinces being investigated.
It's clear that because of the insurgency, the Bush Administration hasn't been able to send the same political hack thugs to Iraq to stop the recount the way they did in Florida 2000.
