A Polish soldier casts her vote during absentee voting for the Polish general elections at the Polish military camp in Diwaniya, 180 km (112 miles) south of Baghdad, October 21, 2007. Poles voted on Sunday in a snap parliamentary election that could weaken the grip of the conservative Kaczynski twins and bring in a government ready to speed up economic reforms and improve relations with EU allies.

Residents shop in a supermarket in the northern Iraqi city of Dahuk October 23, 2007. "Welcome to Dream City" says the sign at a funfair in Dahuk, a city in Iraqi Kurdistan. It's past 10 p.m. and parents stroll arm-in-arm in the cool evening air in this northern Iraqi city cradled by two steep mountain ridges, 60 km (40 miles) from the Turkish border. For people to the south in Iraq's capital Baghdad -- where people scurry home in the late afternoon to endure nights of crackling gunfire, thudding mortars, wailing sirens and the thunder of helicopters overhead -- such a scene is but a dream.
