Thank God, that he's relating the history of ups and downs in the US .. and our rocky start and the division and enmity ... which IS analagous to Iraq.

I've been praying that someone would set it out there in more detail to explain just how difficult a challenge this is. Thank you, Lord ...!!! We climbed the mountain, and so can the Iraqis with our help ....

Thanks for the ping, Howlin ..

Apparently some around here want to deny that creating a democracy is a difficult process, and are offended by pointing out the parallel to our own process.

Obviously there are greater challenges in the Middle East, especially in a country brutalized by a dictator for decades, but the Iraqi people were created by the same God. Our cultures are different, but we are the same inside.

I think it is those who think that we are superior by nature that refuse to see that democracy in the Middle East is possible.

Prayers for this election! May the God who loves the WORLD be in this process, and glorify Himself through what is done this week!

Same here and the Iraqis should also be reminded of it. Have you read 1776 by David McCullough?
