The caption reads:

Seventy-year-old Iraqi exile Mehsin Imgoter leans on the ballot box and weeps after casting his vote in Iraq's National election at a polling place in the Detroit suburb of Southgate, Michigan, January 28, 2005. Voters are electing a 275-member Assembly, which will draft Iraq's Constitution. As Imgoter wept, he said he wished his [deceased son] was here with him. His son was killed in Iraq during the 1990-91 Iraq uprising that was crushed by Saddam Hussein's regime.


Imgoter's son is gone, but the dream is not. (Thanks to Powerline.)
