Less than three years ago, Iraq was a place where dissent was crushed, freedom of speech unknown, and civil liberties nonexistent. Today it swirls and bubbles with democratic excitement. Thousands of Iraqis are running for office in this week's election. The sights and sounds of self-government -- political posters, passionate debate, radio and TV commentary, candidates pressing the flesh -- are everywhere. It is an extraordinary moment in Iraqi, and Arab, history.

Great article.

I'm not over there, so I pray that this is indeed true. It would be fabulous!

''One anecdote from Mosul," said General Peter Pace, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, at the National Defense University earlier this month. ''There was a police recruiting station. Forty young men lined up to sign up to become Iraqi policemen. A vehicle-borne IED explodes -- kills or badly injures 12 of them. The next day, the 28 remaining return to the same spot to sign up to be policemen.

''And that kind of courage," the general told his audience, ''is being shown across Iraq by literally thousands and thousands of Iraqis who want to serve their country."

Truly amazing courage and commitment.

I am underwhelmed by the news coverage of the Iraqi elections.

Great piece- the kind that makes democRATS grind their teeth. Despite their best efforts to sabbotage the President's and Nations efforts to bring Iraq freedom and democracy, they are loosing their war against President Bush and the nation, and of course the Iraqi's.

Democrats, The Namcy Pelosi's, Howard Dean's John Kerry's and Drunken Ted , their MSM collaborators are scum.

''Amer's wife didn't lose the baby. So the guard took a knife, cut her belly open and took the baby out with his hands. The woman and child died minutes later. Then the guard used the same knife to cut Amer's throat."

You call that torture? That ain't torture! Now, Abu Ghraib--putting panties on a prisoner's head--that's torture!!
