Jordan rallies support for Iraq poll

Jordan is hosting a meeting of Iraq's neighbours on Thursday to rally support for Iraqi elections on 30 January.
It wants all the nations present to issue a "clear message" to Iraqis that they should vote in the poll, Jordanian Foreign Minister Hani Mulki said.

"The purpose of the meeting is to come out with a clear message to Iraqis that elections are on time and that they should go to vote to... ensure the country preserves its Arab character," said Mr Mulki.
Thursday's meeting will serve as a catalyst to "call on the feelings of all Iraqis to vote for an Arab, not a religious Iraq", he said.

This is an Arab voice for democracy and against theocracy.
