Howlin's Ping List for Beautiful photos of Freedom
Thanks for the PING! What a great group of pictures. I cried through the whole thread.
Thanks for the ping, Mo! I wouldn't have wanted to miss this thread. So many tears of joy upon experiencing that first real taste of democracy and freedom!
Thanks for posting, gopwins04!
And facedown, your comment "What a terrific thread. It's hard to understand, at first, why they're all crying. And then you think about the bones in the desert..." reminded me of this:
The Mesopotamian - Friday, November 28, 2003
~snip~Yes GWB, though the visit was brief, it was very meaningful. We know that you have come, not as the President of an invading nation, but as the friend who wishes to renew commitment to our people, and as long as your intentions are what you have repeatedly said (and we don't doubt your sincerity), the land and the hearts welcome you.
It gives us pain that the visit is so short and that the masses cannot in the present circumstances come out to give you the welcome that you deserve, but the day will come, the day will come (God's Willing). Yes the day will come when the millions will come out to welcome the best friend that the Mesopotamian people have ever had, and he will be amongst the most devoted and allied people that America will ever have.
The bones in the mass graves salute you, Avenger of the Bones.
Hail, Friend and Ally, Hail, Sheikh of Sheikhs, GWB; Descendant of the Noble Ancient Celt.
Alaa
I look forward to his posts after the election!

Thank you so much for the ping..these pictures are absolutely beautiful. I can't imagine what it feels like to be so overwelmed with joy to vote..we take so much for granted in this country.
