Another blue finger, another vote, this one by a Sunni, his blog - Baghdad Dweller:
Say it loud and clear: I am a Sunni, I am an Iraqi and I voted
January 30th, 2005
Today I can walk tall, I can say I am Iraqi with a proud not only because I voted but also I fought against terrorist with my voting ballot
I stepped out the car, the voting center was on the other side of the street, young Iraqi teenagers were there giving every Iraqi a candle and saying this is Iraq.
After the ID checking in the entrance and the metal detectors after that security shows me the voting room, the room was divided into small booths by partitions and in the middle of the room there were floors, on one corner there was an information table (if anybody need information or have a question).
Entered on the booths and people checked my name and I colored my finger with this great voting color and I got my ballot which was very big (in the size of a poster) all I had to do is to put a sign beside my chosen party, to be honest I was very slow when putting the sign because I wanted to enjoy the moment, putting the ballot in the box was the most difficult emotional time, when I finished Iraqis (which I don’t know) came to congratulating me and shaking my hands.
I am waiting for the pictures to be sent to me by Email because the dig. Camera is not mine
