It was best expressed by Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari after his election as a member of the first democratic government in Iraqi history. He stated: “I would like to tell the widows and orphans... your sacrifices have not gone in vain.” Iraq remains a bloody nation. Bombers threaten both Americans and Iraqis, but there should be no mistake. The Americans are winning, and the statistics from the ground prove it. President Bush may not know the statistics, or he may just be reluctant to say them. However, with the support of the American people on the line, Iraqis and Americans should know that their sacrifices are not in vain. We are winning the peace in Iraq.

The author is correct. We hear constantly about how the electrical grid is inadequate to the task, sabotaged, and a thoroughgoing embarrassment. We don't hear that the real reason there are still brownouts in Baghdad is that demand has grown fantastically from even two years ago, that coming largely as a result of economic activity impossible under Saddam.

The sad part is that if we falter and the anti-American and anti-Iraq bigots succeed, this hell that Iraq is in right now will be remembered as a golden age. We therefore cannot falter, cannot fail, and we will not.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IRAQ….WE ARE THE SONS OF IRAQ AND WE WILL PROTECT IT"

"I WILL VOTE FOR A BETTER TOMORROW FOR MY CHILDREN"

We still dream of a democratic Iraq ruled by the law
And this is something we deserve…this is the land of the first law in history
I still find my home in Iraq… it's still the best place in the world in my eyes
I will not waste a minute listening to the pessimists
Instead, I will add a brick to the house we're building
And I will write a word….and pray

I will pray for the ones who fought for the Iraqi freedom
I will pray for the hundreds of thousands who won't spend the night with their families, staying awake on the front line to keep me safe
I will pray for the ones who gave their lives for the sake of others' wellbeing
I will pray for those who went through all the pains
And never lost hope
I will pray for a free and democratic Iraq
I will pray for the world's peace.
