GOOD news, indeed. (^:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yesterday's demonstrations in Baghdad and other Iraqi cities were a benchmark: Iraq's resistance to terrorism has begun.

Almost 20,000 men and women - twice the number reported by al-Jazeera - marched across central Baghdad, while others repeated the move in different cities of Mesopotamia yesterday. The demonstrators, from all walks of life and from all religions and ethnicities of Iraq, shouted one slogan in Arabic: "La' la' lil irhab. Na'am, na'am lil dimucratiya." That is: "No, no to terrorism. Yes, yes to Democracy!"

Thanks for the ping, Ragtime Cowgirl!

I hope everyone reads this story. The liberal press has totally ignored or misreported it.

At least Brit Hume had a short segment on it last evening, but I was disappointed that he didn't give it the coverage it deserved.

'Taking the streets of the former capital of the Ba'athist prison, Iraqi Shiite, Sunni, Kurds and Christians bonded together against the "enemies of peace."'

They are beginning to see themselves as 'Iraqis' instead of members of ethnic/religious groups.
