Neither Kerry nor Bush plan to make it a campaign destination

Iraq gets a new interim government and Ghazi al-Yawar gets to be president as they prepare to be handed the keys to the kingdo, er, democracy on June 30. As part the sovereignty, Verbal Jazz has discovered that the interim government petitioned the US to grant them the right to vote in November's US Presidential election. In a passage of the letter to President Bush leaked to Verbal Jazz, the members of the Interim Government seek to "actively participate in this American-style democracy you so claimed that we needed; we deserve the opportunity to have a say in who will be the leader of our occupying force." The Supreme Court is already scheduled to hear arguments on voting irregularities in Iraq two days after the election, so they can "nip this thing in the bud before it becomes another Bush v. Gore." Catherine Harris has not yet been asked to oversee the voting in Iraq.
