"I would have been happy to have died voting at the
time of this explosion [[a suicide bombing at a polling station that then re-opened], because this is terrorism mixed with rudeness,"
said Saif Aldin Jarah, 61, a balding man with white hair who leaned on
his daughter, Shyamaa, as he shuffled into the afternoon sunlight after
casting his ballot.
"When terrorism becomes aimless and without a goal, it
becomes rudeness," Jarah said, holding aloft a finger stained purple
with indelible ink. "How could they force people not to vote?"
um, why am i feeling that "rudeness" is losing something in translation? like you wouldn't die for democracy, or in an attempt at self-defense, or to end the violence, but for etiquette.
