Afghanistan Election - Good News

Well after being disappointed by the local rags coverage of the afghan elections, I read this morning the BBC coverage, and the positive edge they gave the election.

"It is amazing, as an Afghan, to see the turnout, see how many people have come out to cast their votes - especially as it was an exercise that was new to them," says Shoaib Sharifi, a senior Afghan journalist.
It's a view that many voters concurred with.
"This is a country that has suffered greatly over the years," said Abdul Mateen, a Pashtun taxi driver, after casting his vote in the city's diplomatic district.
"To be able to cast my vote and participate in the future of my country - this is a dream to be cherished."

I think that is the real story.
