Al-Jazeera produced an informative documentary to help first-time voters in Iraq, and invited Dan Rather to share his expertise in influencing elections.
Mr. Rather introduced his qualifications by saying "I dodged a lot of bullets in our most recent American elections. Although many of my colleagues didn't survive the onslaught, I came through smelling like Aunt Gertrude's roses." He reminds the voters that "although you have been waiting nearly five years for this opportunity, do not take time to double-check your registration. When you are ready, rush towards the polling place with myopic zeal." He then suggests that they "try to throw the ballot to the left" as they are exiting the polls.
Mr. Rather offers a last bit of advice, "Pretend you don't notice the snipers, even if they are wearing pajamas or riding a swift boat."
