Iraqi woman votes during national elections in Baghdad.
An Iraqi Shi'ite woman dips her finger in ink as she arrives to al-Kadhmiya polling station to cast her vote in Baghdad, January 30, 2005. Iraq's first multiparty polls in half a century began at dawn on Sunday, elections intended to unite the country but which could instead foment sectarian strife and which insurgents have vowed to turn into a bloodbath.
