One friend in America told me that his brother in Iraq is so happy with the way things are going, he wants to build a statue of President Bush in front of his house. Another friend said his siblings told him they could finally breathe — inside their homes — after years of strangulating fear. My uncle in Baghdad said, "We've been brought back to life."

What GREAT imagery! After decades of 'strangulation' they can finally breathe.

The United States of America, under the leadership of George W. Bush, has brough them 'back to life!'

Great post, ollie! THANK you!

My uncle in Baghdad said, "We've been brought back to life."

I feel sorry for everyone who has been following the war through the international newsmedia. It is such a humbling, heroic, miraculous effort...and the press is blind.

Please give Eric a long distance hug and let him know we're proud of him. You, too, mom. Sniff.
