A Chinese Vote for Democracy, #1

This is from the People's Daily online, as are the two pictures below (click to enlarge). The caption on picture on the mid-left reads, "January 30, an Iraqi policeman votes in the soutern city of Basra." It looks like some Chinese journalists wish they had some democracy of their own.

Update
There's also an article titled "A Small Dicionary of the Important Political Forces in the Iraqi Election (伊拉克大选中的主要政治力量及小辞典). I'm impressed that a mouthpiece of the dictatorship (of what, these days? Surely not the proletariat!) goes into such detail. You'd think the election mattered.
