Struck up a conversation in the checkout line yesterday...couple had freshly inked fingers so I asked if they'd voted.

This couple drew a crowd sharing what it mean to them to simply vote, their concerns for family in Iraq and lots of praise for our troops and President Bush.

Keep in mind this was in Royal Oak, Michigan where the peace-nicks have stood on Woodward Avenue for almost 2 years protesting the "Unjust War."

It's a shame the MSM has reduced this historic event to a body count.

Prayers to our troops and the Citizens of Iraq.

"The idea of democracy will lose its reputation in the Arab world entirely," Qandil said, comparing the Iraqi election with 20th-century polls held in Egypt under British occupation. "Democratic charades of this type were going on then," he said.

This is from Reuters. Man, they are doing all they can, but it feels to me like a big Abrams tank is just rolling over them, but it is the spirit of the Iraqi people.

Very emotional evening.

Praying for Iraq, its people and our brave men and women who are risking so much to give them the two most precious things in this world: Life and Liberty!!
