Ping, you're it!

Aside from a misplaced apostrophe, and a few misspelled words, this particular vanity thread isn't too cumbersome to read.

Hope you enjoy it.

I was hoping that the rest of this piece would focus on the positive developments leading up to this historic, groundbreaking election, especially after Mr. Burns quoted a female Shiite dentist-who was a former member of the IGC-who defiantly proclaimed that, "If I die, it is better to have died for something than to have died for nothing."

The unceasing emphasis on the bad down playing of the good in Iraq never ceases to amazze me. Like most Freepers I'm a news junkie, but it's gotten to the point where I just can't read/watch them anymore.
I recall last year Nightline said they were going to do a show on the "good news" from Iraq. The show did show some of the good thing then the last 2/3 of it was the same old litany of blood and bombings, and "interviews" from Iraqis yelling that it was better when Saddam was in charge.

For me it was a real light bulb moment.
