This is what it's all about.

Wonderful pics!

These folks could teach a thing or two to the naysayers and malcontents here.

Go Iraqis!

All Iraqi voters get a certain kind of purple heart for pushing away the terrorists to vote

This is so inspiring...

I have already made copies of some of these pictures, and will be posting them in my classroom on Monday Morning.

Wow!

Thank you for posting them.

The Iraqis have shown that yes, the loss of American lives was worth it! Thank you, Iraqis!

FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY HAVE WON IN IRAQ!

I took some heart from seeing the lines in the Al Anbar province pictures. It appears at least some people are voting in the Sunni Triangle.

Good morning.

I have come to the conclusion my eyes will not be dry for days.

Wonderful pictures, dennisw and thanks for the ping, Jay.

it was nice of Reuters to include the phrase

"Insurgents unleashed a wave of bloody attacks on Iraq 's historic election on Sunday, killing at least 22 people and wounding dozens in suicide bombings and mortar strikes at polling stations across the country"

over and over, for each photo, to remind us how 'catastrophic' they (hoped) it would be...

Beautiful photos, Northern. And a 72% voter turnout! We've never had close to that in this country.

Let's hope some of these pictures make up the covers of Time, Newsweek, etc.. Triumph of courage and freedom. Those longing for blood and violence -- and we know who they are -- should be ashamed.

An Iraqi woman sheds tears of happiness, for having been able to vote.

Can't wait to see how the left honors this woman's devotion
to the new Iraq, later today.

Frankly, it touches your heart to know we provide this for her and
other Iraqis.

Thanks to President Bush, Donald Rumsfeld and our troops!
