The by far most powerful, most beautiful, most inspiring photo of Peace, Freedom and Brotherly Love I have seen in a long time. Christian and Muslim Iraqis united in erecting the cross.
It can’t win a Pullitzer, because Pullitzers are only awarded to leftist causes.
This image and its story are the validation of the endlessly cursed, ridiculed and maligned “neoconservative Bush-Doctrin”.

Very powerful picture indeed!
Iraq is changing every day.
Christians, Sunnis and Shiites were never divided here before. It was the factions deividing them, such as al Qaeda and the Mehdi Army. The Iraqis generally don't care who is Sunni, Shia or Christian.
Now that the factions are being weakened, Iraqis want to blend again. Several of them have told me this recently. They are uniting.
Looks limkke the Iraqis are getting the message.
