I've been thinking about those millions of Iraqis who risked death and how many walked for hours to vote (the roads were closed due to fear of car bombs) and to exercise a freedom many Americas take for granted or simply ignore. I've read accounts of how they jubilantly flashed their 'purple fingers' and it has moved me to tears!

And I've been thinking also of George Washington who against great odds, led our nation in the War of Independence and then in the establishment of a free nation.

How fortunate we are to have President Bush who has the courage to lead in the War on Terror and the vision to realize that a free Iraq is a model for the entire Arab world and the best deterrent to the spread of terrorism!

...and then there's the coconuts in this country who can't vote because they have to get to the video store before it closes....

The picture of the people who brought their children to vote with them is stunning. Even with the fear of bombs, they brought their childen. Amazing.

What a terrible time to be a rat.

The New York Times would have called the battle of Trenton "a pointless attack by a incompetent Virginia farmer."
