Vote in Iraq
By Micah Halpern

Saturday October 15, 2005

I've Been Thinking:

The vote on the referendum for the Iraqi Constitution is important, very important.
Unfortunately, something else very important often gets lost in the excitement and terror surrounding the vote.
Perspective.
We should never lose perspective.

Democracy is less about voting, it is much more about responsibility.
It is about accountability.
It is about security.
It is about stability.
It is about safety.
It is about equal protection.
It is about equal opportunity.
It is about justice.

Democracy is about leaders conforming to the will of the majority or educating the masses as to the proper path.

Voting is an important aspect of democracy but just one of many.
We should never lose sight of what is really important.
