The GodBlog posts a letter from a soldier who explains how critical the next several days are in Iraq and what we can do to assist:

As a transportation battalion, my unit will be delivering the voting machines and the ballots to villages and cities throughout Iraq during the upcoming elections. (January 30/31) Our convoys are prime targets for the insurgents because they do not want the equipment to arrive at the polling stations nor do they want the local Iraqi citizens to have the chance to vote; timely delivery must occur so that the elections occur.

The soldier goes on to explain the need for prayer not only for themselves but for the electoral process.
