It will be interesting to see how the Iraqi elections on Saturday come out in the final results. There is much at stake with the troop withdrawal and how the Iraqi forces would be able to handle the country as well as how the government will be run. After viewing the video I think it is good women are running for office and I hope more do in the future because women in the region need to have more of a say in what is being done in the country. Progress made very slowly in a fragile region. The Question and Answer on the Provincial Elections in Iraq really explained the situation well and what might happen. Hopefully, there will be peace someday for all the civilians. Excellent reporting as always!&lt;br&gt;PLEASE STAY EXTRA SAFE RICHARD!&lt;br&gt;Peace to You and to All!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; </description></item><item><title>Women make mark on Iraqi elections </title><link>http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2009/01/28/1769779.aspx#1770638</link><pubDate>Thu, 29 Jan 2009 11:05:05 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1770638</guid><dc:creator>Most Viewed News, Jupiter, Florida</dc:creator><description>That is very good to hear that women are coming forwrd and holding an office.</description></item></channel></rss>
