Let Freedom Ring...in Iraq

For the first time in nearly a generation, the people of Iraq were able to vote in a legitimate election. Previously, Iraqi "Election Day" consisted of 2 options; 1) Vote for Saddam Hussein, or 2) Have your voting hand cut off. Celebrating their new found freedom, at least 60% of the country's registered voters turned out, despite threats of violence by terrorist thugs, to make their voice heard on a world-wide stage. Many of these brave, democracy craving, freedom loving people had to walk...yes WALK for hours just to vote; and to think many Americans complain about having to wait in line for 10 minutes just vote.

President Bush, the chief architect of this historic day, quickly called the vote in Iraq a "resounding success" that surpassed all expectations. After the polls closed the President said, "The world is hearing the voice of freedom from the center of the Middle East...In great numbers and under great risk, Iraqis have shown their commitment to democracy. By participating in free elections, the Iraqi people have firmly rejected the anti-democratic ideology of terrorists" according to the Washington Post. He went on to add that the Iraqi people have "taken rightful control of their country's destiny . . . and they have chosen a future of freedom and peace." Amen Mr. President, Amen.

Of course, for the bitter liberal faction in the US who still think they speak for the majority of Americans, good news is actually bad news for them. John F-Bomb Kerry (D-France), the loser of the 2004 Presidential Election told the AFP, "No one in the United States should try to overhype this election", and then continued on his pro-UN/France rhetoric by saying, "It's going to take a massive diplomatic effort and a much more significant outreach to the international community than this administration has been willing to engage in. Absent that, we will not be successful in Iraq." Do these people EVER give up? I guess they just don't liker the fact that this is the 2nd election that they have lost in the last 3 months.

Of course, this comes on the heels of Ted "Hiccup" Kennedy (D-Cheers) making himself look like the northbound end of a southbound jackass in front of a crowd of students at Johns Hopkins University. The Baltimore Chronicle reports that Sen. Hangover said, "We now have no choice but to make the best we can of the disaster we have created in Iraq. The current course is only making the crisis worse." Only to a liberal democrat can millions of people voting for freedom and against tyranny be a "disaster".

Perhaps Sen. Kennedy (Hiccup) should talk to the sitting mayor of Baghdad, Iraq about the disaster that has been created there. The New York Post reports that Mayor Ali Fadel said, "We will build a statue for Bush...He is the symbol of freedom." Mayor Fadel, knowing that they still have a long way to go, also said, "We have a lot of work and we are especially grateful to the soldiers of the U.S.A. for freeing our country of tyranny."

It appears that Ali Fadel and millions of FREE Iraqis have a lot more clue than over 50 million Americans who can't see the forest through the trees and voted for Kerry in November 2004.

History was made today thanks to President George W Bush, the brave US soldiers who have sacrificed their lives, and to the millions of Americans who chose to keep President Bush in the White House for 4 more years.
