The residents of a small Iraqi village have killed five insurgents who had attacked them for voting in last weekend's national elections.
Several other insurgents were also wounded.
The insurgents raided the village of al-Mudhiryah south of Baghdad after warning its inhabitants not to vote in the election.
The villagers fought back, killing five of the insurgents and wounding eight others.
The insurgents' cars were then set alight.
Al-Mudhiryah's tribal sheikh says his people are sick of being threatened by Islamic extremists.

Ain't DEMOCRACY wonderful!
When others see how easy it is to fight back, the bullies days will surely be numbered.

Yes it is!
I just heard it in FNC and I was planning to search for it, thanks for saving me the time.
I mean, this is GOOD, right?
Unless , of course the villagers were profiling and shot the attackers for that reason. (/sarcasm off)

144. Yeah.. the cars really posed a threat.
Sounds like vigilantism and vandalism to me. Did they destroy evidence?
They get crazier by the HOUR!

This is a sign of two good things to come:
1. Iraqi's will fight to keep their freedom.
2. They are likely to ensure a constitutional right to keep and bear arms.

The Daltons ride into Coffeyville, Kansas. Great minds... I was thinking of the Jessie James, Cole Younger and their brothers (with their gangs) in Northfield, Minnesota. Got shot into doll rags. But the citizens didn't burn the gang's horses.

What were the MSM expressions on this ? How did PETA JENNINGS take this news ? What about old Teddy Koppout ?

Al-Mudhiryah's tribal sheikh says his people are sick of being threatened by Islamic extremists. Great great news. People that are tasting freedom instead of the gruel of tyranny get fire in the belly quick.
