Iraqi & Arab reactions to the US election

Omar has translated the BBCArabic website.
Most of the Iraqi posts favor President Bush. Many Arab speakers not from Iraq do not. To me that's a sign that the local elections and the national election looming in January give ordinary Iraqis a sense of hope in their future. For all but the oldest citizens, this is their first chance to have a say in their future.
UPDATE: Compare that to an appeal to the UN and the French government.
