These are the revolutionaries that will be the subject of historic awe in their own country. I remember a few people remarking that they had no heros, that they had to look to America for heros, the President and our troops for examples, because they had been oppressed for so long. No longer. They have a generation of Heros putting their lives on the line today.
Reminder- Some of us are inking our right index finger blue in a show of solidarity. If you don't have an ink bottle break open a blue pen or pull out a marker. Use blue koolaid if you have to. LOL
You also have to realize that a good number of Iraqis have joined the police and the army and they have died building their country. Our media doesn't focus on it because to do so would make the Americans feel better about our sacrifices.. and that's the last thing they want to do.
