   For voting or anything?   
      
   Seems to me that given the recent events with the police killings and U.S.   
   history in the region, why would the citizens of Iraq or Afghanistan put   
   their names down on a registry?   
      
   I would think they would be very leery of a permanent record, with their   
   name and address on it. Suppose we leave or they fear we leave. Their names   
   would then be available as those "sympathetic" to the west. That would be a   
   death sentence for them and their families.   
      
   If I were them I would fear that ponit considering the history of Vietnam   
   and also the lack of U.S. support during the last Iraq uprising, following   
   Desert Storm.   
      
   They have every right to be paranoid. I just don't see how voting is gonna   
   work in those places, especially Iraq.   
      
   Has this theory been discussed in the media or anywhere?   
   I think I have a legitimate point here.
