Historical?

I keep reading these headlines characterizing the vote in Iraq as historical. I just get a sick feeling when I read that. There is something wrong about the way a whole bunch of reporters characterize this vote as historical. It is like they are forcing something on them. That kind of characterization is usually only done after the fact, not before. The only time you hear it before is with hyperbole. Are these reporters trying to emulate Don King. It just feels as if they a forcing something upon people much the way those people have been forcifily handled the last 25 years.

I'm only 24 so all I can do is read about the press of the past. But as far as I'm concerned the press in my lifetime deserves no respect.
