I find it really hard to blame the civilians for the apprehension for voting when there are very real security concerns. And considering it was the US which overthrew the previous Iraqi regime, and has yet to stabilize the country, I find it completely ridiculous to blame them.
Do you really think the primary reason they are not voting is because of security reasons?? It's not the Sunnis that are being killed by their fellow citizens. The Sunnis are used to being in power, and a vote means that they will be nothing more than the minority that they are. Most Sunnis aren't threatening to stay away from the polls because they're scared of being killed, they're staying away because they don't want the election to occur.

I agree with JP5... if they don't want to vote, fine. It's a free country.
