Imagine what could be accomplished if the media - Arab and our own MSM - displayed this level of integrity as a rule. A gigantic weight would be lifted off the cause of freedom.
Major earthquake took place in the Arab and oppressed countries across the globe. We may not see the immediate effects but this has put into motion events that will eventually bring freedom to everyone.
"HUH-OH?.....the Ayatollahs from Iran are shaking in their sandals tonight!!"
Especially when the Iraqis who live in in Iran lined up to vote also - I wonder how they ever got away with that ?
"It would be condescending if it were not hypocritical."
They are normally kind of conde-critical aren't they ?
Just to be more accurate. :-)
How can they help but admire what could only have been described by the entire Middle East as a "dream"?
Ditto of Afghanistan.
If Iraq can finish the job by writing and ratifying a constitution and having national elcetions, there will be no end to democratic nations in the middle east. George W Bush will be remembered as a visionary. Even the MSM will not be able to say otherwise.
Greek TV is also covering the election. The did show one brief scene with the splatter marks on a wall after the area had been cleared up.
Oddly, much of the coverage tracks what was here on FR and Fox.
Showed images of happy cheering people. Citing the 60% turn out.
One talking head made a dig about the heavy security necessary but they really pushed the spreading of democracy. (must be a historic issue)
I no longer have cable so watch little TV - because I cannot stomach CBS - but tonight I did and I was all but laughing aloud to see Blather Rather HAVE to report the amazing "victory" - the "huge victory" of the vote. He all but choked on his words. It was good to see this worm crawl - and when I think of him and his ilk - and we know who they are - grinding their teeth tonight and drowning in despair - What a glorious day all 'round!
It sounded like he was at a funeral. It was so amusing.
